Anyone remember the press releases? Their selling point was that they were going to index all pages of the web (Google doesn't even though i think its passed over 1 trillion URL's sometime last year.)... as if that was a plus. I mean, there are obvious reasons Google stopped trying to do that.

The search results for almost everything are totally nonsensical

When i saw this and read all the press releases, i really thought it was a team of clever assholes who were trying to bait someone into investing a few hundred million or buy them out simple because they could make the claim that they were ex-Google engineers putting it together.

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.

Rather than rely on superficial popularity metrics, Cuil searches for and ranks pages based on their content and relevance. When we find a page with your keywords, we stay on that page and analyze the rest of its content, its concepts, their inter-relationships and the page’s coherency.
