Today’s that some of Google’s disgruntled ex-employees have just introduced a new search engine, Cuil, that they claim is a better search engine than the Google search engine. The people at Cuil have had access to loads of venture capital money and have been working on the new search engine since 2006. Among other things, they claim that Cuil is better because it indexes 120 billion Web pages, which they claim is a much larger number than even what Google indexes.
I decided to give it a try, searching for content on a few websites I’m familiar with. None of these websites are indexed. Not a single page from them occurs on Cuil search results.

What about searching for content? I typed “windmill world” into Cuil, and I got no results. Cuil told me that I either had a typo, or was searching for something that was “very rare” (in which case I should at least get something), or I had entered too many search terms.
When I typed “windmill world” into Google, I got 6,200 results. Windmillworld.com was right at the top. Gee, I guess I’ll be sticking with Google for now.
New visual search engine already exists, it is only for kids))
