Cuil – a Refreshing Search Engine

Cuil has just launched and is ready to go with 120 billion webpages in its kitty. To be accurate it has 121617892992 webpages in its index.

Firstly, it has a nice new black home page with search results vertically aligned up in the front end. 

Secondly, The search results can be opted in 2 columns or 3 columns depending on what looks good for you.

Thirdly, The amount of content in the description is much higher than those displayed on Google. Not sure if users what to read so much. If the description contains stuffed keywords then it not useful for the user. the page then looks spammy.

Fourthly, The Url and the title are clickable.

The relevancy part does not outsmart Google probably because there aren’t any SEOs spamming cuil for increasing rankings. Maybe few months down the line you might find both search engine delivering same results, or maybe Google being better as it has more experience.
