Marginalia is an indie search engine that prioritizes text-heavy non-commercial websites.
Viktor Lofgren started building Marginalia in 2021. Lofgren is a Swedish software engineer who says it takes him about an hour a week to maintain. Lofgren hopes it will help people explore interesting parts of the internet that are off the beaten path.
