Search Engine Battle: Google vs. Cuil
The Quest for Search Engine Holy Grail
Made by Google’s ex engineer, last summer a hotly hyped search engine was unveiled and was billed as a legitimate challenger to Google. Cuil, as that search engine is known, launched with quite a bit of pomp and circumstance before Web traffic flooded its servers, causing it to crash.
But did Cuil get it right?
My simple test below showed that it might be the case.
Cuil: 1 – Google: 0
:cuil, google, relevance, search engine

Glad it worked, Ted.
I tried it as well today and it worked, albeit returning mostly .co.uk (I am based in New Zealand. Perhaps it’s the Commonwealth thing?)
However, and that’s a big however, can’t beat a screenshot now can we? :)
My conspiracy theory instinct told me somewhere someone at Cuil’s office is watching every search query with 0 results and quickly fix it as it comes. Hmm, another pigeon exploitation?

Wow, that’s impressively bad for Cuil! Great post! Have you heard about “Wolfram Alpha”? That’s the next latest Google-killer. Pity about the name. :)
