I've been trying out Cuil and so far, I am not impressed. While the layout is nice, the results are far from the quality you get on other sites. Sometimes, the same result displays on several pages. The images shown with the results are also most of the time, unrelated to the result it is sitting next to.

Maybe as their bots crawl more sites it will improve, but right now, it is somewhat useless.

Thanks for the info, I’ll give it a try.
Gave up google a long time ago (after the holidays and blog links flaps,) mainly use dogpile now.
Always looking for another source of info!

Regional radio host Schnitt tried this using his name. The first result he found was an article about him accompanied by a picture of Glen Beck. No idea why the two are connected.

Awesome that it isn’t Google. From quashing free speech in China (and possibly other places) to refusing to cooperate with the government regarding registered child rapists, Google has shown they are not a company worthy of my patronage.

I’ve been using Windows Live instead. It’s good enough and doesn’t result in the outwardly support of San Fransisco values.

It’s nice we have an option that has the potential to rival Google service that doesn’t have the liberal activist connotations with it. Of course, if they start playing liberal activist, I may rethink that and continue on with Windows Live.

Search site aims to rival Google ( Called Cuil, from the Gaelic for knowledge and hazel, )

Huh? From my MacBain's and MacFarlanes':

[cùil] nf. g.+e; pl.+tean, recess, corner, niche, nook, closet See cùl
[cùl] nm. g.v. cùil; pl. cùil, the back, the hinder part

(eòl), , knowledge, Ir. [eo/l], [eolas], E.Ir. [eo/las], O.Ir. [heulas] , [d-eulus]: [*ivo-lestu]?

Good thing I did a search!

I was just going to post a link.

The best part of this search engine is just the fact it’s not Google. I HATE giving them hits... It’s like handing Obama a wad of cash, and I appreciate the opportunity to add this to my other than Google search sites!

seems to be working pretty good now. I like their content rather than popularity perspective....by by google.

I tried it — one thing I saw right away that I didn’t like: When you know the name of a website you want to go to, in Google, you can type: yadayada.com, and it will take you directly to the website. I tried that in Cuil, and it won’t take you there directly.

I just did my first search on cuil and of course my first search was ANN COULTER. I like it better than google for sure.
