A Search Engine out of Stanford…and it isn’t Google

Posted by: Xailia in Google, Teh Internets

Cuil (pronounced cool), has been launched by a two professors out of Stanford today.  They hope to directly compete with google by offering a couple new ideas:

  1. Search webpages based on context.  After the original search, offer the users a few categories to refine their search to get to what they really want
  2. Bring more information to the user – Index more web pages than google and do it faster

I tried a few searches on the website.  It seems to be okie; it is hard to determine if the site is effecient or if I am still biased towards how google organizes things.  To be fair I will give cuil a try for a week or so and see how many times I have to defer to google to find what I need…
