QUOTE (pidbux @ Aug 4 2008, 11:59 AM)  There's a new search engine www.cuil.com, just launched and presented as Google alternative. Has anyone checked it? What's your opinion? Will any search engine effectively compete against the mighty `G`? I just went there and tapped in a site I know is popular with the engines, and yes it appeared on their top page. The layout is different to the more conventional engines, as the links and descriptions all appear on the page in a spread out fashion, rather than in list form. QUOTE The pitch with Cuil consists of an extremely broad index of Web pages (121,617,892,992 and counting) combined with new ways to sort through and explore the results it finds. It also features a strong privacy policy based on not storing user data that could be exploited later on: "When you search with Cuil, we do not collect any personally identifiable information, period. We have no idea who sends queries: not by name, not by IP address, and not by cookies." To judge from the test searches we've conducted at this site, its primary virtue seems to be an ability to present a broader - but not necessarily more accurate - set of Web links than Google or other big-name search engines. It's way too early to talk about this as a Google killer, or even as a site that might someday afflict Google with a hangnail - not that the digerati didn't spend an absurd amount of time last week chattering away about the possibility. But Cuil may at least be able to shoehorn its way into the Web-search toolbox as an alternative engine http://www.newsday.com/services/newspaper/...0,4606998.story
