search.marginalia.nu is a small independent do-it-yourself search engine for surprising but content-rich websites that never ask you to accept cookies or subscribe to newsletters. The goal is to bring you the sort of grass fed, free range HTML your grandma used to write.

Mwmbl is the first search engine to allow users to change the search results: You can add results, delete them, and rerank them.
