Or try marginalia.nu! It's a search engine designed to prioritize those sorts of small websites and show you stuff that might get buried by engines like Google, though it does include some larger, typically nonprofit, ones (e.g. Wikipedia). I especially like browsing the random button to get a taste of the websites it has, including random people's websites.
As a search engine, it's not the best. A search for "dogs" has Stack Exchange forums, Wikiquote, Wikisource, someone's GeoCities website on dog trivia, and RationalWiki as the top five results. But I don't think I'd ever have known about small websites like caps.wiki (top five for "technology"), or a website called "blogs of war" (the top link for both Moldova and AI), and so on.
