Basically I understand Marginalia's proposition as a search engine focused on retrieving text-heavy/long form content. Unless I misunderstand it's intent, that can't replace a generalist engine (nor does it have to) as not every search request will lends itself to long form texts. I guess that's the only point I was going for (I do feel the old-Google sentiment has got more to do with the state of the web than the engine, but am out of my league for a proper opinion), and it certainly wasn't a jab at it - I'm thankful for your neat website and will be looking forward to see it get even better over time! Maybe it is somewhat uneven, but it is nonetheless great at finding thoughtful pieces written on subjects XYZ and surfacing more obscure/personal websites.
