Cuil is everything but "Cool"
There’s some buzz around “Cuil”. Oh, it has the biggest index of pages!
Oh, they want to beat Google!
Oh, they have some super wise intelligent technology so the results are better!
Wait a minute. Has anyone ever been able to actually FIND something using Cuil? I mean, at first I didn’t even want to try it because the name sounded stupid, but I forced myself to try it in case it was good. I mean, the homepage is pretty clean, which is nice.
So, at one point today I wanted some details about a group policy setting versus how it affects Internet Explorer precisely. So I “Cuiled” this:
Group policy prevent save username Internet explorer
And got THIS:
No results were found for: Group policy prevent save username Internet explorer

Ok, so you didn’t find anything, and you want me to go through the trouble of SENDING YOU AN EMAIL? Are you nuts? I want to find stuff, not email you ! What are you going to do, email me the results back?
I tried a few other searches, and I either got no results, or got a ton of results which were mostly spam.
I don’t doubt that they have some “Cuil” technology over there, but it isn’t nearly ready for prime-time. Re-launch in a year and we’ll see.
Did anybody get good results using it? Seriously?
Google has 311,000 hits for the same query. I can’t believe people still even *try* to make a search engine and compete with Google.
