Cuil: the new kid on the block
July 29th, 2008Cuil.com launched their website on Monday and they claim to be the biggest search engine:
Welcome to Cuil—the world’s biggest search engine. The Internet has grown. We think it’s time search did too. The Internet has grown exponentially in the last fifteen years but search engines have not kept up—until now. Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft.
From cuil’s FAQ:
How does Cuil improve Search Results:
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. So we started from scratch—with a fresh approach, an entirely new architecture and breakthrough algorithms.
Our approach is to focus on the content of a page and then present a set of results that has both depth and breadth. Our aim is to give you a wider range of more detailed results and the opportunity to explore more fully the different ideas behind your search.We think this approach is more useful to you than a simple list.
I’ll have to play around a bit more to see how cuil comes up with various serps. More later
