Marginalia Search as usual.

Recently went on an optimization bender that saw the index now become almost completely bottle-necked by CPU in the ranking calculations step. Pretty neat. Faster ranking means better results as queries run on a timeout.

Also working on making the search results more relevant by fixing jank.

Also working on some more commercial features, like the ability to monitor queries (e.g. for backlinks or brand mentions) and get an email when there are new results. Unsure if there's much demand for that, but I want the feature, so I'm buying it even if it doesn't make me yacht money.

It is both a great (ai tools) & worst (ai slop) time to be building a web search engine!
