Submit websites to be crawled by Marginalia Search
There are a few options for submitting websites for crawling by Marginalia Search.
If you just want the website to appear in 'random exploration', read the note at the bottom of the page.
Option A:
If the website is already known, you can do it directly from the search engine website.
Search for your website on Marginalia Search using the search bar at the top of the page.
Prefix the domain name with site:, like site:yoursite.com. Try also various subdomains, like site:www.yoursite.com.
If it is already known by the search engine, a button will appear where you can add the site manually.
Option B:
Fork this repository, add your site to the sites.txt file in this repository, and submit a pull request. The site will be added to the search engine when the next crawl is run, which may be a month or more. Be patient.
Option B 1/2:
Create an issue in this repository with the URL of your website. I'll add it to the list when I have the time.
Don't be alarmed if this takes a while, as it doesn't really matter when they're loaded into the search engine database as long as it happens before the next crawling cycle begins.
Option C:
If you do not want to mess around with GitHub, you can also send me an email with the URL of your website. Email the website to contact@marginalia-search.com and I'll add it to this list. You won't get a response to the email, and it will take a while
before it's added, but be patient and trust the system.
Why do I have to submit my website manually?
This is to prevent abuse. Adding obstacles makes this much harder. Otherwise it would be possible to use the search engine's crawler essentially as a weapon to disrupt a website.
The 2020s Internet is sadly very adversarial this way.
Submitting to Random Exploration
Getting crawled by Marginalia Search does not include a domain in the Exploration mode. It isn't even necessary.
Assuming the search engine has grabbed a screenshot of the website, you can just click the 'suggest' buttom below and it'll be queued for review.
