Marginalia is an indie search engine that prioritizes text-heavy non-commercial websites.[3][4][5] It was created by Swedish software engineer Viktor Löfgren and began its development in 2021 as a project to pass the time during the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4][6] Löfgren hopes it will help people explore interesting parts of the internet that are off the beaten path.[4] Löfgren says it takes him about an hour a week to maintain, and runs it on his own, low-powered hardware.[3][6]
Marginalia has its own web crawler and builds its own index instead of reusing the index of a larger search engine like Google or Bing. Unlike other search engines that use more advanced techniques for queries, it is a keyword-based search engine.[6]
Marginalia is open source under the AGPL 3 license, and can be self-hosted.[2]

Search result entries include an 'info' link to further information on the entry's website, a small visualization of where on the page keywords were found, and information about the page's use of affiliate links and JavaScript. In addition to informing users of these aspects, users can filter sites with certain features out of search results. It is possible to filter out results for pages that use features like affiliate links, tracking links, or JavaScript.[7]
Marginalia offers an API to allow searches to be executed programmatically.[6][8]
