About
Marginalia Search is an independent, self-built search engine that surfaces content-rich, non-commercial websites. It focuses on discovering old-school, text-heavy web pages that don't use cookies or demand newsletter signups. The project is privacy-respecting by design, collecting no personal information and retaining only anonymized logs.
Problem
Mainstream search engines surface cookie-heavy, subscription-prompting commercial sites rather than genuine content-rich pages.
For
