Since Google's snotty billionaire owners have given American's who made it rich the high hard one on Veterans day and other sacred holidays to us in favor of latte sipping celebrations, I am kissing them goodbye and switching to this engine for now, and hopefully they will unseat Larry, Sergey and their pinky tipping buddies as kings of the search hill and turn them all into the sultans of slop.
ps...I'm sure these geeks are latte lear jet libs too, but as I said it's time to bring that other group down a notch or two. They really lost me when they bought this jumbo jet that's now parked in a NASA hanger for free and was recently used to fly guests to POS Mayor of San Fran Freako Gavin Newsome's wedding according to Michael Savage.
Ex-Google engineers debut 'Cuil' way to search:
"SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Anna Patterson's last Internet search engine was so impressive that industry leader Google Inc. bought the technology in 2004 to upgrade its own system.
She believes her latest invention is even more valuable—only this time it's not for sale.
Patterson instead intends to upstage Google, which she quit in 2006 to develop a more comprehensive and efficient way to scour the Internet.
The end result is Cuil, pronounced 'cool.' Backed by $33 million in venture capital, the search engine plans to begin processing requests for the first time Monday.
Cuil had kept a low profile while Patterson, her husband, Tom Costello, and two other former Google engineers—Russell Power and Louis Monier—searched for better ways to search.
Now, it's boasting time.
For starters, Cuil's search index spans 120 billion Web pages.
Patterson believes that's at least three times the size of Google's index, although there is no way to know for certain. Google stopped publicly quantifying its index's breadth nearly three years ago when the catalog spanned 8.2 billion Web pages.Cuil won't divulge the formula it has developed to cover a wider swath of the Web with far fewer computers than Google. And Google isn't ceding the point: Spokeswoman Katie Watson said her company still believes its index is the largest.
After getting inquiries about Cuil, Google asserted on its blog Friday that it regularly scans through 1 trillion unique Web links. But Google said it doesn't index them all because they either point to similar content or would diminish the quality of its search results in some other way. The posting didn't quantify the size of Google's index.
A search index's scope is important because information, pictures and content can't be found unless they're stored in a database. But Cuil believes it will outshine Google in several other ways, including its method for identifying and displaying pertinent results.
Rather than trying to mimic Google's method of ranking the quantity and quality of links to Web sites, Patterson says Cuil's technology drills into the actual content of a page. And Cuil's results will be presented in a more magazine-like format instead of just a vertical stack of Web links. Cuil's results are displayed with more photos spread horizontally across the page and include sidebars that can be clicked on to learn more about topics related to the original search request
Finally, Cuil is hoping to attract traffic by promising not to retain information about its users' search histories or surfing patterns—something that Google does, much to the consternation of privacy watchdogs. continued
I've used it this morning and actually find it quite annoying the way it's pages are structured and may have to wait to switch over to it as it matures if it does, I also couldn't generate returns on some fairly simple searches that the crappiest engines out there pick up regularly with my use. But since it's only the first day of operation I'll give it some time to gel, as I've stated I have had enough of pouring money into Goggle's bottomless pit.
