Is Cuil really that Cool?

To answer the above question we visited the www.cuil.com website and gave it a test drive. The first thing you notice when you do a search is the new layout. It does not list the results as we are used to in Google and other search engines. And what the normal case is with these things is that New is not always an improvement. Because the amount of text with every result is different the columns are not always the same height which makes the result look a bit messy.

The images with the results are nice though, but again we want fast results so would be nice if we could hide those images in the future especially because they are not always that relative.

Tab and category feature
The new tab feature is pretty cool. If you get a lot of results the Cuil search engine will display tabs on the top in which will make the results smaller for example we looked for "Bali" which resulted in the following tabs:

Cuil - Search Engine - Bali Web Design

If you click on the tabs Cuil will do a new search with those keywords. But Cuil offers more. If there are enough results you get also the option to narrow your results by only getting the results within one category.

Results
When we did some searches we could not really say if Cuil gave worse or better results. One thing is sure... it gave OTHER results. So I think before we can really give an opinion we should give Cuil the change to learn from the first period online live but for my recent searches I will keep Google as the first choice.

The Search Engine market
I do think that Cuil can make the other search engine wake up. Because we have to be honest that for example Google is putting a lot of time in new software even though the core business should be the search engine and to how to improve it. Because Google has been a real market leader in the past it is good that a new party is trying to compete with the big market leaders.

Future
Cuil has to improve some stuff and learn from this first period online to really become a serious player. Even though they have put many millions of dollars in the project these couple of months will show if they are up for it.. We will keep a close focus on it for you and if there are changes we will definitely post it here for you.
