Apparently Cuil was not quite ready for launch during the first day or two – many medium long tail queries did not return results at all, and even general queries returned way fewer results than they should have considering Cuil’s claims of having indexed so many pages already. They did improve somewhat afterward, however, and seem to be picking up more results and increasing relevance as more people have been testing out the engine.

In the long run, I hope they get things together and perform well enough to compete with the major search engines and then maybe do some advertising. I would like to see more serious competitors to Google in order to hold their power in check and encourage more transparency overall.

Shane: I dont think it’s intentional–more likel, it’s more evidence that Cuil’s results are kinda stale. It may not have caught up with all the coverage of itself over the past coupla days…

Do a search for ‘criticisms of Cuil’ on cuil.com and you get irrelevant results such as ‘The Annals of Ulster’! Is this some sort of censorship of it’s critics or is it actually just that crap?

Any idea what the images associated with the returned results are? Most of them seem to be either completely or nearly unrelated to the text… for instance, searches on sites which I have developed myself return text from the site plus images which come from… somewhere? Who knows? Kinda weird…

well have none repeating exact searching result listings isn’t exactly the greatest start however simply because the engine does not point you at the brand sites associated with terms such as apple with iphone etc could possibly be a good thing if the search results where truly counting link backs and not what some large company paid to have there.

In short its not the greatest search engine but I think it could show some aspects of how searching should be.
