Recently I came to know about new search engine name CUIL pronounced as cool, but when we talk about any search engine before Google its look like that we are joking and definitely appearance of any new search provider is taken as doubt.
As far as we have seen there is been no change in core search interface for last few years of searching with Google. Ask to those users who are using it for last few years.
Then here comes the new challenger, to dethrone the crown of Google, launched on 28 July this year. And this is remarkably different from Google, and if you thinking that no one dethrones Google search think again.
According to the e-week magazine august issue, in their review section, both the founders (Costello & Patterson) felt limited by the constraints of Google's traditional link and traffic analysis which picks the ten most popular link.
Some cool things about Cuil…
- Cuil the company was created by Stanford University graduates Tom Costello, the company's CEO, and his wife, Anna Patterson, who is president and chief operating officer.
- Costello researched and developed search engines at Stanford University and IBM, while Patterson was most recently an architect of Google's large search index and led a Web page ranking team.
- $33 million venture.
- Cuil's technology analyzes the context of each page and the concepts behind each query. It then organizes any similar search results into groups and sorts them by category in three columns across the page in magazine-style fashion.
The biggest claim of this search engine on comparison to Google, it has 120 billion pages search index, while Google has 40 billion pages.
But like all things have some flaws this also have it sometimes shows a blank search or no result found, but Google has nothing like this.
