Not So Cuil - July 28, 2008 -

Ashwin | Technology

I read about Cuil (pronounced as Cool) this morning and decided to see what it can do. It was created by former Google employees with the hopes of upstaging Google with it’s search prowess. However, a few simple search in Cuil yielded no useful results at all.

Cuil - A new search engine to rival Google

I searched for the string “linux usb hardy” in relation to an issue I was having with VirtuaBox on my Hardy based Linux machine and got back 2 completely useless results in Cuil while a plethora of useful results were hurled at me by Google.

I think Cuil has a way to go before declaring themselves “the world’s biggest search engine”.

Cheers
