Cuil

Cuil search engine at http://www.cuil.com/

Cuil is the newest internet search engine, promoted to be a google-killer.
I made a short video about cuil.com so you can have a brief look about the website for yourself.

Feel free to comment your opinion about cuil VS google, live search, yahoo, etc.

Read CUIL's Privacy Policy and you will see WHY it Beats GOOGLE. To many DATA MINERS to track you and CUIL is COOL that it sticks it to the man.

@Tamperee.

Cuil is gone! :'(

Check out the full history on wikipedia

Shutdown

PC Magazine reported that on the morning of September 17, 2010 "employees were told about Cuil's demise and the servers were taken offline five hours later." Laid-off employees were told they would not be paid. The shutdown reportedly came after an acquisition agreement fell through earlier in the week.

Where's Cuil? I can't access to its website.

[Ohsta6t2]

Cuil has indeed some more search results. Searching for 'test' without the brackets has 2,311,633,457 results while Google has only 713,000,000. What could have been a reason for Cuil's unawareness/unpopularity is having no image search. To think of it, the most popular websites online are often having light colour or white schemes (Google, YouTube, Wikipedia,etc)

Cuil is also now working on an encyclopaedia called Cpedia. Which is accessible but in alpha.

[Ohsta6t2]

Cuil does have potential but among other search engines, Google is nearly impossible to surpass as the most used of its kind. It's been nearly two years but Cuil has barely managed to capture a fraction of usages compared with Google.

They made some minor edits in the site. The page bar thing is moved to the right instead and Preferences and a language selector (E.g. using the English version would have English with an arrow pointing down.

Maybe Cuil isn't that much in images, but in web search maybe.

Cuil is great, a Google-Killer! But the new Leapfish is even better than Cuil and Google. Chack out Leapfish on YouTube.

Good review! I like Cuil, but it needs more improvement. Time will make it better and a real Google-Killer. Thank you Cuil! Kill Google! (but not Yahoo!)
