But get this: Marginalia now indexes 106 million documents! Off a single PC. This is kinda bonkers. Previous record was barely above 60 million. Turns out modern computers are kinda powerful.

Crawling took 2 weeks. The index is 1.1 Tb.

I wonder how they differentiate between commercial & non-commercial? Graphics? Logos? Topics? KWs?  All of the above?

Dunno.  There is some human screening going on.  I suspect the amount of ads plays a part and probably graphics too.
