  9. Seems stract.com ils no longer operational, and the developper is no working on the project any longer...
    That's a pity 😥 , I liked the ideas behind this search engine, although the index was never big enough to give really relevant results.

    #marginaliasearch is an alternative, it seems.

    I'm not sure what it takes to run a web crawler... Or how big the index becomes..
    #yacy has a decentralized approach, not sure it works

    I am writing an article about Marginalia Search. I wanted to check something on the search results page. Since Marginalia is good at turning up small web and vintage websites and articles, I decided to search for an old school unsung Pokémon. After thinking for about 15 seconds, I settled on Seadra. Seadra seems like a good choice for an obscure generation one Pokémon. It was a standard water-type Pokémon and final-stage evolution in generation one. It received a new evolution in […]

  15. Fun (?) fact: I'm increasingly turning to #MarginaliaSearch whenever I need to look stuff up.

    Previously I pegged it as a search engine that is a cool idea but didn't index enough web to be useful.

    But Marginalia is one of the only search engines that regularly surfaces up pre-2022 content.

    So it's one of the only search engines now where I can reliably find information that isn't slop.

    I read an interesting Hacker News comment by user dumbfounder (great username!) on Hacker News today. I excerpt the pertinent part below:

    I created a search engine that crawled the web way back in 2003. I used a proper user agent that included my email address. I got SO many angry emails about my crawler, which played as nice as I was able to make it play. Which was pretty nice I believe. If it’s not Google people didn’t want it. That’s a good way to prevent anyone from ever competing with Google.

    dumbfounder

    I have had problems with bad crawlers (especially bad AI cralwers) on my sites. At the same time, dumbfounder highlights the reverse side of the coin. Many sites block good crawlers such as robots.txt-respecting crawlers for indepdent search engines. While all webmasters are free to control access to their sites as they see fit, allowing Google and other select big tech search crawlers while excluding small and independent search crawlers both limits search diversity and prevents people who may rely on small or niche search engines such as Mojeek, Marginalia, or Seznam from discovering potentially interesting writing. I previously published an article on this issue advocating for webmasters who want to support an open web and search engine diversity to ensure that good crawlers from independent search engines and directories can access their sites.

    I was looking for a good small web source to link to April showers bring May flowers for yesterday’s New Leaf Journal article on a brave tulip in Red Hook. I turned to Marginalia Search and Mojeek for the task. On Marginalia, I found a link to a link to a May 10, 1998 blog post by Michael Rawdon titled May FlowersIt did include the adage. I did not ultimately use it in my article. However, a passage unrelated to spring and flowers caught my attention:

    Oh, and I ordered my new G3 Macintosh from The Apple Store. They say it could be up to 3 weeks before it arrives due to “time for assembly”, but seeing as it’s a standard model minus the internal modem, I’m betting it will arrive sooner.

    Michael Rawdon (May 10, 1998)

    While I never had a Mac of any kind (lest we count my temporary custody of Victor V. Gurbo’s 2007 MacBook), the passage caught my attention because I wrote about one Macintosh G3 just over a year ago. In Power Macintosh G3 in Nana Anime, I used a reverse image search to identify a desktop computer in a 2006 anime I was watching at the time. Of course, the G3 I wrote about was first released on January 5, 1999, so Mr. Rawdon must have ordered the model before the one I covered.

    "Best found with ${NON_AI_SEARCH_ENGINE}" where NON_AI_SEARCH_ENGINE is one of Start page, Searx, Qwant, Marginalia, Mwmbl...
