Quoting Aaron Walkhouse <[email protected]> from ml.gnutella.dev-forum:
:It's still the old-fashioed broadcast method for that type of search.
: Query routing didn't come out until much later and hash queries were
:left out because there would be no benefit in filling tables with
:hashes of hashes alongside the hashes of keyword fragments. 

Hmm... For the record, gtk-gnutella does not route URN queries if there
is no matching bit in the QRP table.

URN queries are a waste of bandwidth for everyone.  Please stop using them
or advocating for them.  Have you measured the success rate of URN queries
broadcasted over Gnutella lately?
