Marginalia is a free, open-source search engine based in Sweden.[4] The search results provided by Marginalia come from its own index of web pages, created by crawling the web.
History
Starting mid-2023,[5] Kagi Search lists Marginalia as one of the sources for its results.[6]
Key features
Marginalia is a crawler-based search engine that provides independent search results using its own index of web pages, rather than using results from other search engines. Marginalia also displays significantly more individual entries in its search results than Google or Bing, and does not prioritize any particular websites, being fully dependent on the keywords. Marginalia also has keyword syntax, allowing you to have granular control over how you want the results.[7]
Etymology
It is believed that the name Marginalia comes from the fact that the search engine shows even the marginally existing websites, that practically don't show in other search engines.
