Issue 1: Search and Query -- Superbook and the Canon Cat?
Superbook is a hypertext system where:
- there are no links
- navigation is done using full-text search
Issue: What's a link anyway?
Aren't queries just"dynamic" links?
The Canon Cat was a whole system built around the same idea that Jef Raskin demonstrated at HT 87.
Lesson: Links aren't really necessary for hypertext.
Navigation by query is a true alternative .
