We don't need another yahoo/msn search/altavista pos search engine. Google made the internet usable. deal with it.

We've learned what to type in order to have certain results appear. Cuil is searching for the word(s) in the search field in context. This is going to be challenging in that much different results will apear. I've Googled and Cuiled several different cameras and other products. Google tends to present the manufacturer or seller, while Cuil provides a lot of reviews. Google will remain the search engine for information on things, places, and services, but Cuil may start to lead in a search for information regarding knowledge. -M&C I think we are all suffering from having learned how Google works.

I tried searching for 'orangutan' and my own organization [Orangutan Outreach-- redapes.org] didn't even show up... Talked to my SEO people and they laughed at it. Cuil should be called Fuil. I just hope it doesn't get hyped into something legitimate. Google gets the job done. Period. It's sorta like trying to replace the iPod. I mean, why bother? Sucks.

This gives rise in my mind as to how these sites made it to Cuil. Surely not necessarily a recent "capture"! And some of the content seems to be a mixture of different sites. That in addition to the previously-mentioned unrelated graphics. I have my doubts about it now as well as in the future. -JT I looked up one of my sites and saw a reference to a version that has not been in operation for nearly five years.
