Cuil, a New Search Engine
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Cuil (pronounced “cool“) is a search engine that organizes web pages by content and displays relatively long entries along with thumbnail pictures for many results. It claims to have a larger index than any other search engine, with about 120 billion web pages. Cuil is aiming to topple Google by indexing more Web pages than the search giant. It went live on July 28, 2008.
Cuil said its search engine goes beyond traditional approaches by analyzing the context of each page and the concepts behind each query so it can provide better rankings by content rather than popularity. Cuil then organizes similar results into groups and sorts them by category. It also offers tabs to clarify subjects, as well as suggestions on how to refine searches. Unlike other search engines,Cuil’s privacy policy states that it does not store records of users’ search activity or IP addresses.
Cuil is managed and developed largely by former employees of Google: Anna Patterson, Russell Power and Louis Monier. Another founder, Tom Costello, has worked for IBM and others companies.
Popularity: unranked [?]
