CUIL: New search engine to kill them all?

[Renegade]

..or not!!

cuil . com

Summary of Cuil's features:

Biggest Internet search engine: Cuil has indexed 120 billion Web pages, 3x more than any other search engine.

Organized results: Cuil's magazine-style layout separates results by subject and allows further search by concept or category.

Different results: Unlike other search engines, Cuil ranks results by the content on each page, not its popularity.

Complete privacy protection: Cuil does not keep any personally identifiable information on users or their search histories.

Now the idea behind the inception is good but after using it for some time I felt that it lacks the ability to search phrases. I like that about google, ability to enter any random unrelated string of words and still get some results.

But the organised result feature is good (if it works properly). It displays related terms in related categories.

The dependence of online advertising on search engines is the worst thing to have happened to the internet (academically speaking of course). There are so many useless pages and websites optimized to get better search ranking and adsense revenue. Becomes hard to find quality content.

That is why I got excited after reading about it but it seems it'll need some more simmering.

Lol! Searching for "apple macbook review" shows an error ! Some search engine that.

Tried....

Still Feel Google Works Better...

 

[varkey]

We’ll be back soon...

Due to overwhelming interest, our Cuil servers are running a bit hot right now. The search engine is momentarily unavailable as we add more capacity.

Thanks for your patience.

CUIL is setup by the best brains that were behind google...

Give it some time...

 

[fangface]

I tried it out and was not highly impressed with it. I guess they will need a little time to improve their index.

 

[hammerhead]

Well it was developed by former Google engineers so I will give it a second shot. I was not very impressed by it the first time I tried it.

 

[VanishingNerd]

cuil has not indexed itself. Search for cuil itself. :rofl:

I like that about google, ability to enter any random unrelated string of words and still get some results.

thats why I prefer google than others

 

[main_trouble]

cuil has some teething problems

that can be expected.

but we atleast now have new kid on the bloc.

competition is always good.

and while google is still th king

cuil search results are comparable better than msn/yahoo search.

in time it will surely improve.

google has got some real competition now
