I like Marginalia too, I have found some cool stuff on there. I do wish their crawler did find new pages faster though. There seems to be a lot of pages out there that it is missing. Looking at all the other search options, most of them seem to use Google/Bing index, which the quality seems to be deteriorating. That makes it quite important that other Search Engine index's grow (and hopefully they don't start using AI, which doesn't seem to help web discovery very much).
