Better than google!! "CUIL" email this discussion to a friend?

Oscuro1987 (79)   ranked 7,815 out of 11,188 in internet3 months ago

Pronounced "cool", CUIL is a brand new search engine on the internet.
It already has overtaken Google, with about 121 billions referenced pages, which is THREE TIMES better than google.

Who made the crazy bet to overtake Google??
Simply... Workers from google themselves lol!

It doesn't use the "Pagerank" system, so you can get more pertinent results for your searches.

The interface is very light and easy to use, which is another good point!

Last but not least, CUIL will NOT match your IP ADDRESS with the searches you are doing (google is doing this!), good point for our privacy!

This search engine is constantly being improved and is actually THE BEST concurrent against Google.


Give it a try at: http://www.cuil.com/


BE HAPPY

I wonder if engines like dogpile will include cuil in the future? I wonder what lies in store for cuil's future. Will it be a search engine king in the ranks of yahoo and google?


Oscuro1987 (79)   ranked 7,815 out of 11,188 in internet  3 months ago

I think so!
I'm actually using CUIL as default search engine, and i'm really pleased with it!
I'm actually gathering informations about the future of CUIL, which is really promising! MAYBE better than Google!

I have actually tried this engine for searches related to my wifes illness and have found that it isn't as good as Google in that regard.
I have searched some other things, but the engine is seriously lacking on the searches one can do at this time.
I understand it has more referenced pages, but the results returned are sometimes not terribly related to my specific search.

I like the idea of the IP address not being matched, but then again, I am not worried about the things I search, and you can be sure that somehow, somewhere, the addresses are in fact being tracked. Every keystroke is permanently logged when we use the internet and if need be, this information can be retrieved and matched with the IP address of the person or computer requesting it.

It may have more pages referenced that Google, but I hardly think that Google has been overtaken. Google is the number one search engine, and I doubt that a newbie will come along and overtake it in its first month of existance.

Hello:)

Well first, CUIL is under development. Of course it is not perfect for the moment, but it has a really big potential to overtake google and yahoo.

The fact that it is being developped by ex-Google engineers is also a good point and a reference for quality.

I don't really care about being IP logged, but I think it is really important for (by e.g.) companies, private firms, etc...
Privacy is for them an important point I think.

Yes, CUIL is still young, but I don't doubt of its potential. It will be improved in the near future. Maybe it won't overtake google, but it will at least put goog a bit more in the bushes.

It is definitely better than Google in some aspects. In looks, it kills with the black background (my favorite) and Cuil Logo in it's amazing fonts. As well as the text that you type is in bold letters, which adds to the beauty.

The results are very nice if you are researching, as they give a long description of the site, but there are only about 50,000 results for every topic (Enough for us, but lesser than Google Web Search). There are only 6 results in a page, so you will be constantly changing pages for more results. The results are descriptive, sometimes good, sometimes bad. It will also show you a list of the related searches that you could do in case of an assignment or research.

It automatically detects your browser and shows you a link to add the Cuil Toolbar, though I have not yet tried it. But nice searching, it is definitely useful, and eye-catching.

Cheers!
AJ Rox. lol

Hello Ajrox1810 and sorry for the late answer, I was reading everyone's answer lol.

As I said above, CUIL has to be improved to be really competitive.

But its attractiveness is (for the moment) one of its best feature.
Furthermore.... 120 bil. Pages!! it's still awesome!hehe

I just really hope they will improve the search engine itself to make it accurate, easy-and-pretty to use, and secure, even if it is already secured with the fact that CUIL isn't logging your IP and your searches.

I looking for it right now.. IT's very attrative.. different of any other search engine that I have used.. I will try it today and will post my experiences.. but, it will be hard to chance my default search engine.. google..


Oscuro1987 (79)   ranked 7,815 out of 11,188 in internet  3 months ago

Hello Anchopy and thank you for the answer!

First, yes I think you are right... CUIL will have hard time trying to change GOOGLE customers to them, as GOOGLE is the most known and used.

But still, CUIL definitely worth the try, and I already adopted it as my main search engine.

Improvements are coming little by little. I will be honest, I don't know how often they update their site.

I'm waiting for the report of your first experience:)


myLot reputation of 71/100. Anchopy (885)   ranked 1,585 out of 11,188 in internet  3 months ago

I was trying it and finding more info about cuil.. seems that it has very bad critical reviews.. Wikipedia has references... so, I will still using Google for a while more.. but thanks for the information dude! thumbup


Oscuro1987 (79)   ranked 7,815 out of 11,188 in internet  3 months ago

Could I see those critics?
I want to know also what's going on with that search engine.

Thanks for the feedback!


myLot reputation of 71/100. Anchopy (885)   ranked 1,585 out of 11,188 in internet  3 months ago

Oscuro1987 (79)   ranked 7,815 out of 11,188 in internet  3 months ago

I've gotta admit that it's pretty, and I definitely like the tabbed categories. Having search results sorted out into categories is a really nice feature when searching a very wide search term. I often do wide searches for inspiration when writing new content, and it's very convenient to have the results sorted out for me into nice, neat niches.

I'm not as happy with the magazine-like interface when I want to be able to quickly scroll through results, but it's a trade-off. I often switch through multiple web browsers when researching, and I've added Cuil to list, but it won't be my default browser for a while.


Oscuro1987 (79)   ranked 7,815 out of 11,188 in internet  3 months ago

CUIL has its charms and his bad sides, we must give them some time to improve their website as it just began.

I still think I can trust in CUIL but I will wait before switching my default homepage.

I really hope they will make a great site, just because it is promising.
