Marginalia Search
An independent search engine with its own crawler, focused on the small, old, text-heavy, non-commercial web. You can search on the site, and its open public API lets this site query it directly. Reach for it when hunting personal homepages, hobby sites, and long-form text from the web's quieter corners that mainstream engines tend to bury.
Чем полезен и как работает
Marginalia is the engine to try when mainstream results are dominated by commercial sites and you are specifically looking for personal homepages, long-form technical writing, or hobby pages. It runs its own crawler, deliberately scores down ad-heavy and SEO-optimised sites, and surfaces the text-heavy, non-commercial corners of the web that larger engines tend to bury. Echo can query Marginalia directly through its public API, so results appear alongside those from other sources without leaving the page.
Что внутри
Marginalia's index holds approximately 300 to 400 million documents as of 2024, with the creator actively working toward a billion-document goal. The index is smaller than those of mainstream engines by design, prioritising quality and independence over raw size.
