Cuil- A New Search Engine

how to index the whole Internet—not just part of it—and

how to analyze and sort out its pages so you get relevant results.

are the two major goals that cuil(pronounced COOL) has set for themselves. They are following fundamentally different approach. They have developed new architecture and algorithms that can handle the exponential growth of the Internet and organize results that reflect its enormous complexity.

Cuil have included some good new features
1) Panel on the right-hand side that says “Explore By Category” with a list of subjects related to your search.

2)When you pause on a subject suggested by “Explore By Category,” a definition of that term may appear.

3)Offers you other choices and suggestions. Cuil will show you “Tabs” that suggest ways to clarify your search.

4)When you type a query, sometimes you'll see a search suggestion with an icon representing a website. which is most likely google's spell check(which comes after you have entered the keyword)


Cuil has indexed more then 120 billion Web pages, three times more than any other search engine.

Cuil provides organized and relevant results based on Web page content analysis. The search engine goes beyond today’s search techniques of link analysis and traffic ranking to analyze the context of each page and the concepts behind each query. It then organizes similar search results into groups and sorts them by category.

Cuil gives users a richer display of results and offers organizing features, such as tabs to clarify subjects, images to identify topics and search refining suggestions to help guide users to the results they seek.

“The Web continues to grow at a fantastic rate and other search engines are unable to keep up with it,” said Tom Costello, CEO and co-founder of Cuil. “Our significant breakthroughs in search technology have enabled us to index much more of the Internet, placing nearly the entire Web at the fingertips of every user. In addition, Cuil presents searchers with content-based results, not just popular ones, providing different and more insightful answers that illustrate the vastness and the variety of the Web.”
