(Creator here) I recently moved the website from search.marginalia.nu to marginalia-search.com and gave it a bit of a visual touch up, on the basis that I felt it was working too well to be a weird subdomain outgrowth off my blog.
It's still the same search engine :-)
- alberth 2y agoAny reason why you don’t use a shorter domain name? (Amazing what you built, btw)
- marginalia_nu 2y agoHard to find one that makes sense and isn't inscrutable like mxyzp.tlk. If I ever do find one that's appropriate I might set up a CNAME record to point to marginalia-search.com
- alberth 2y agoFYI - https://www.dynadot.com/market/search https://www.dynadot.com/market/search has a nice way you can filter their Aftermarket domains for sales by Character Count, TLD, No IDN/Number/Hyphens. I've found over the years plenty of <= 5 character domains that have a meaningful name just from using their search filters. (I'm not affiliated in anyway to them)
- axiomdata316 2y agoIt looks like the "random" button on the old version no longer works. Did you remove that feature?
- marginalia_nu 2y agoHmm, I think it's just a broken redirect. It works if you search for browse:random . I'll try to fix it later today.
- stackghost 2y agoLately there's been some consternation in the small-web community about the aggressive crawling by OpenAI and friends. How often does yours (re)crawl its indexed sites?
- marginalia_nu 2y agoI do a big recrawl around once every 10 weeks, but I have a RSS crawler that does daily visits and fetches new items. But that should be very low volume traffic.
- stackghost 2y agoInteresting, does your RSS crawler auto-detect feeds? That's a neat solution I'd never considered.
- marginalia_nu 2y agoThe big crawler tries to find feeds, and the RSS crawler acts on what the big one has found.
