Surprisingly informative for what is pretty much a press release, learned a good deal about search engines.

I'm kinda allergic to writing "I did the thing" posts, so I can't help but tryhard and attempt to make them compelling somehow.

Writing in this manner is also very helpful in making sense of the work for myself. Takes a better understanding of the subject to thoroughly explain what you've built than to merely build it. Sometimes I've gone back and read through one of these updates to just get a refresher on what my thinking was when I built something.

In my experience, that is pretty much what marginalia search is. I rarely get what I expect but I always get something very interesting that makes me understand my expectations better which is very helpful in accomplishing my goals. Thanks for your work, marginalia is probably my favorite little corner of the web.
