I don't understand the praise of Marginalia.
When I search for "Steve Jobs" on Marginalia, I got blogs about his speech in 2011 and some mailing list from 2007.
When I search for my own name I get nothing. In Google it's just me.
It's cool that one person built all this of course but... that's not a good search result compared to Google?
Maybe I miss something, maybe I use it wrong
What do you expect when you search for Steve Jobs? Also, which filter did you use?
By the way please don't take it as if I am taking you down or something
It's amazing what you did, it's just not a Google killer? or at least I don't see it
It's really not supposed to be either. Like it's designed to be the search engine you use when you can't find something elsewhere, so it's largely designed to show you different results than the ones you get on Google and Bing.
In general a lot of the complaints seem to be "I'm not getting what I expect from Google". Well... yeah. That's the point. If someone wants the same results as Google, they should arguably use Google.
I don't know I used any filters? I don't know what are filters sorry
I expect wikipedia article on Jobs as a baseline.
Ah, I downrank Wikipedia pretty hard :P
If you just want the Wikipedia article, you can go straight there. Why are you searching for it?
