Recently, i have come across with a website which claim to be better than google. it is founded by an ex-employee from the google company. Quated below is the exact words that i get from the so called "world best search engine --cuil" website.

"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.

Then we offer you helpful choices and suggestions until you find the page you want and that you know is out there. We believe that analyzing the Web rather than our users is a more useful approach, so we don’t collect data about you and your habits, lest we are tempted to peek. With Cuil, your search history is always private.

Cuil is an old Irish word for knowledge. For knowledge, ask Cuil."

After trying this search engine, i really get fucking dissapointed with them. I have tried to search some words and ended up no result. I tried searched using google for the same words and i get several results which i wanted. This make me wonder how true it is that cuil is claimed to be better and contains more websites than google.

there is one thing that i think is good about cuil is that it webpage is cool. Some more the results that it returns also contain picture.

So why dont you try it out yourself and decide whether you should add it into the list of your search engine or just forget about it.
