Hey guys,

A former team from Google has released a new search engine apparently more accurate and larger than Google. How does it fair? Well it’s not bad.

Cuil is the brain child of Tom Costello and Anna Patterson, Tom a search engine expert, and Anna a former Google employee. Together along with the help of a rather small staff have created a search engine to give Google a run for it’s money. Though it doesn’t include extras like Google’s ability to create accounts or custom searches, it does have some pretty amazing features. It has an auto search drop down too guess what you want to find, tabbed searching within the same window, roll over definitions, categories, and the ability to recognize a person’s name and associate that name with different companies or people.

Overall the site is simple yet advanced, with some obvious new coding that makes the site easy to use, but still holds a clean looks. Another thing it has over Google is it’s privacy options, which basically don’t exist because there is no privacy to be lost. The site does not store anything about a users searches, it doesn’t store cookie information, nor does it share with other websites. Oh did I mention it has indexed over 120 Billion pages while Google is only at 40.

This site is sweet, while it may take a while for people to migrate from Google, it will be nice to have a backup search engine that’s so simple, but private and extremely useful. We give it a B, it’s almost there. Head on over to cuil.com to try your hand at a search, you’ll be happy you did.

Enjoy!
