Marginalia Search's still a bit hit and miss. Haven't really actively been working on the search result quality lately, been too busy with various chores away from the actual search end of the search engine. It's gotten a bit better, but mostly by accident, through fixing bugs that had knock-on effects on quality.

A directed effort toward unfucking query understanding and index execution is up next on the list of tasks to tackle though. Hopefully it'll make a decent impact.

Unlike Google you still managed to not pull in a irrelevant pages but instead tell the truth whenever you didn't have any results.
