From (some of) the makers of google...

www.cuil.com

Supposed to have some search advantages over google.

Anyone think it will catch on?

    Slow, kind of ugly, doesn't have the simplicity that makes Google so attractive.

    Under the current version of this site, I have to give Cuil a thumbs down.

    At least it returned results for you guys. When I tried it, it returned no results icon_sad.gif

    I think it's getting swamped from Digg, Slashdot, etc. It seems like they weren't ready for that kind of load.

    Search was quick for me, but I don't like the formatting. In IE it doesn't fit right maximized, and you are forced to keep their odd dimensions. Looks not ready.

    Me searching simply "Techexams" does not point simply to Techexams.net like google or yahoo does. This will never ever touch google.

    The only thing noteworthy about it was the tabbed results with suggested topics. Other than that, the output is rather ugly and the search was slow. Even if the search-speed is improved, one question remains: why would I use this in favor of Google, Yahoo, or any other search engine? What does it have that others don't?

    Don't like the format at all.

    I wouldn't however get worked up about the speed - something tells me that their site is being bombarded by search enquiries ..... many from google icon_lol.gif
