In first days Cuil couldnt find itself. Now http://www.cuil.com appeared in first place, but if I type Cuil Search Engine, it doesnt appear at all, or Cuil Search. How is the rank system?

The irony is that even if Cuil has a more relevant search and a better UI, its just not possible to change habits. It won’t take a better competitor to beat Google but a worse performance on Google’s part to drive away users. That does not seem to be happening for now.

I’m still a Google fan… Although, I agree it is probably good for Google to get some competition… Then Google can get even better. :-)

I think it’ll be a while before it gets any worthwhile competition.

I did the obvious and searched for myself. None of my businesses or affiliated (business or personal) showed up. They all do with Yahoo, Google and the rest. I’ll give it time, but they can’t hope for the public to be patient.

I actually like the potential of Cuil, despite its name. If its indexing in a different way to Google it means that where you page after page of SEO maxed sites you may get some difference.

The summaries are useful and it helps me sort out the wheat from the chaff.

I accept that it needs to sort out typos.

And yes the front page is very average.

But I’ll use it as an alternative to Google and see how it goes.
