I just tested Mariginalia and it was completely unable to lead me to a Wikipedia or imdb page when searching for "driver ryan gosling" and variations. It just listed lots of random articles.

I have a suggestion for the “About” section at the top of Marginalia’s landing page. I think it would read better like this:

Showing one thing “in favor of” another seems contradictory in this case.
