Today a new search engine launches. It is called Cuil (pronounced COOL). Cuil is an old Irish word that stands for knowledge. Aimed at creating the biggest web index in the world, Cuil goes beyond the conventional search engine and provides organized and relevant results based on Web page content analysis. Cuil has already indexed more than 120 billion web pages, which is three times more than any other search engines. So, Cuil claims to be the “Biggest Internet Search Engine”.
Cuil’s technology was developed by a team with extensive history in search. Cuil is located in Menlo Park, California and is led by husband-and-wife team Tom Costello and Anna Patterson. Mr. Costello researched and developed search engines at Stanford University and IBM; Ms. Patterson is best known for her work at Google, where she was the architect of the company’s large search index and led a Web page ranking team. They refused to accept the limitations of current search technology and dedicated themselves to building a more comprehensive search engine. Together with Russell Power, Anna’s former colleague from Google, they founded Cuil to give users the opportunity to explore the Internet more fully and discover its true potential.
What makes Cuil different from Google? Instead of using inbound links as a factor for ranking, Cuil searches for and ranks pages based on their content and relevance of a search query. Cuil’s goals are to index the whole Web, to analyze deeply its pages and to organize results in a rich and helpful way that allows you to explore fully the subject of your search.
Cuil searches the Web for pages with your keywords and then analyze the rest of the text on those pages to sort out different meanings of the same keyword in different contexts. Then, all those context are separated into tabs and displayed on your search result pages. The simple aim of Cuil is to give you a wider range of more detailed search results and the opportunity to explore more fully the different ideas behind your search query.
The rich interface and search results on Cuil looks really good. The search results are displayed in columns and you can switch between using two and three columns by clicking on the link at the bottom of the search results page. Text in columns is definitely a new approach for a search engine and it will make the search results easier to read. Other features of Cuil includes Roll-over definitions, safe search and typing suggestion etc.
I really loved their new style of displaying search results and now I am going to test it for a few days. In my view, Cuil is going to stay in the search engine market. It has already got some good fundings from a few companies and we can see some more features in coming days. In the mean time, why don’t you give Cuil a try? Dare to think beyond Google!

I cant really see this beating Google how many times have we heard about the next big search engine.
Yes it would be good if they did but how likely is it.
