The point of Marginalia Search, as far as there is one, is mostly to complement the bigger search engines by providing tools to find obscure stuff that's drowned out elsewhere, mostly by offering a bunch of filters.

It's not a google replacement, and if you already know what you're looking for then it's probably not the right tool.

Maybe you're looking for mechanical keyboard discussions, then maybe a search for "mechanical keyboard" in the Blogs or Forums filters will provide results you are into.

It's also pretty good at unearthing weird stuff. Say you want to read up on Jack Parsons[3], that Jet Propulsion Lab guy who dabbled in occultism, fell in with Alistair Crowley and then got scammed out of his wealth by L Ron Hubbard, and finally blew himself up, well that is the sort of topic Marginalia Search generally excels at.
