I liked this one... I searched for 'George Harrison' and among the first results there was a page with interesting comments about Harrison's solo career; someone reminiscing about the time they got to talk to him about guitars for half an hour at a bar at the airport; a transcript for an interview he gave on TV... Whereas on GOOGLE: an instrusive 'People also ask' which I was not interested; thumbnails for videos on youtube that I was not looking for; previews to garbage clickbaity news articles; and then finally for the search items: a bunch of websites for lyrics; his Instagram (!) and fb pages; his imdb page; some more news articles I was not looking for... Granted, google's web results above are perhaps what people are looking for 75% of the time, but how limiting and boring. I'm also a sucker for the simplistic text-centric, information-laden pages from the pre-facebook era. For 'global warming', however - since Marginalia excludes modern web-design pages - the results are of dubious relevance and interest, since they are, well, 'old'. I see myself using this engine a lot. |
