Here comes the Google Search killer!

in Tech,Web


Ex-Googlers have got together to bring out a new cool search engine called Cuil (pronounced cool.) The last time it’s developer Anna Patterson developed something similar it was purchased by search engine leader Google Inc. This time Anna says her search engine is not for sale. She quit Google in 2006 to develop a new comprehensive search engine. Backed by $33 Million in venture capital, Cuil has started processing search requests from today.

google killer search engine Cuil!

Cuil’s search engine index spans a whopping 120 Billion web pages. That is roughly three times the Google search index and ten times the MSN Search index. What makes Cuil different from Google and other conventional search engines is that it drills down the content of the page and doesn’t lay stress on ranking the quality and quantity of links on the web page. Cuil displays search results in a horizontal magazine fashion along with images. There are sidebars to further refine the search results. Whether Cuil will be a Google Search killer or not might still be a long distance ahead but it could certainly give Google a run for their money. Cuil joins a list of other search engines currently trying to grab the attention of web users. It includes start-ups like Teoma, Vivisimo, Snap, Mahalo and, recently Powerset which was acquired by Microsoft this month. All the best Cuil!

    even google didnt used to have any adds on its homepage earlier..it used to be totally blank!! i see where cuil takes inspiration from…. but after trying it out.. i feel it has a long way to go.. couldnt find out scarce info that i did find on google.. goes to prove numbers can be deceptive(talkin about the no. of pages indexed by cuil).

    Seriously dude, I don’ think it can beat Google. Their algorithms are out-of-this-world.

    Nah , cuil ain’t kewl ….It failed my first search test :P . Typed “Harry Jerry” & even “Harryjerry” … but no link to ur homepage,mate! Google displays the first result as https://harryjerry.com … i guess ” 121,617,892,992 ” is the no. of pages they cudn’t add ..

  • Harry

    Yup! It will take some time for Cuil to come up to those standards. Google is God already.
