Not so cuil
There has been a lot of press in the last 24 hours about Cuil, a new search engine created by former Google employees.
While I welcome any challenge to the Google empire, I tried Cuil this morning and was really very disappointed. It claims to search gajillions of pages but couldn't find the breadth or depth that, erm, Google does. For one search, it also list 2000 or so results but couldn't display them all and only gave me two pages of results.
I hope Cuil's creators rectify these problems so that they can live up to the hype they've received.
