I do agree. I tested my several sites as well, which have been indexed by Google, Yahoo and MSN for quite a few months. But they are not shown at Cuil’s search result. I don’t think it is as big as what they said.

@Dave – they should have gone with cool.com, but we all know that it’s hard to get a good domain name these days.

They should have gone with http://www.Coil.com/ instead of Cuil.com

Coil.com is:
- Easy to pronounce
- Easy to spell
- Catchy
- Short
- Memorable

Also would have been a great idea to have private Alpha and Beta releases before public launch.

Well, search engines’ results depend on the amount of time for which their bots have crawled the net. I’m still impressed with the results cuil came up with, given that it was just launched.

I’d say, give it time. We’re probably in for an interesting duel.

No search engine like Google, I tried cuil.com, I did not like it, if I wan to use something beside Google I will use onlyjust.net , its a Google search in a friendly interface, it combines all Google features on one page.

Singularly unimpressive. As a webmaster for three sites, all of which have existed for 5+ years, Cuil couldn’t find any of them. Whatever else Google may be, they find thousands of sites that Cuil doesn’t seem to. I’ll stick with Google, thank you.

Well, i have one question: is it a coincidence that cuil DOES NOT index any sites which are in cyrillic, for an example? How can you possibly create a search engine which avoids anything but latin alphabet? Feodor's last blog post..Конкурс за фотография на тема „Модерни времена”

I think the thought process behind this new search engine is good but they have so much work to do if they want to compete with the big boys of search. I searched yesterday 3 times during the day for “search engine optimziation” and it came up with no search results. Before a site starts doing a PR push and promoting in the blogosphere they should make sure their technology works before they do this…otherwise they could have an online reputation issue on their hands…

There does seem to be a few bugs to work out. If yahoo and microsoft can't over take Google there has to be a reason besides good search results.... It's become an everyday reference. Tivo doesn't offer as many options, movies, and space as most DVR systems, yet, you still tivo something, you don't dvr it??? It'll be tough to unseat a verb.

Not a good start, that's for sure. You would think that Cuil would do a trial run without everyone looking at the site. I can't seem to get the navigation bar to work for me. Let's hope that these matters are growing pains only. Matt Keegan's last blog post..By: Matthew Keegan - MyBlogLog
