Though I did not like Cuil currently, but it does seem an exciting new search engine. The way things are organized is unique and would need to be get use too. Let's see how it grows and what it becomes. I have used Cuil for a day and wasted my time doing search again on Google.

You can say that's just an indication of the press popularity, I say it's inexcusably poor server-farm support.

I did send an email to crawler@cuil.com to request that they crawl my site – we will see how long that takes and what results from that.

I use Google frequently and rapidly, reading through a page of results in about 10 seconds. With Cuil, my eyes no longer go from top to bottom, but across the screen in different ways. I find this completely jarring, my eyes are hurting from one search. Black background contributes to this no doubt. I think you could prove scientifically that this is an inferior search engine just on that basis. Sorry, but I won't be switching any time soon.

I search for my internet marketing company, AndPlus Design, and it somehow associates me with generic viagra. I agree with a lot of comments here - has a long way to go. Cuil is kind of hokey.

I'm a photographer, and it seems just totally bizarre to me that the images that they associate with all the returns that DO come in for my site are not the images on the page they link to, are not even my photos, and are completely unrelated - yet this is not apparent to anyone visiting their search site. I'm extremely unimpressed. This is not even up to the standards for a brand new service. When I search for my own web site by name, the first return is for someone else.

I like the large columns, but they're only really useful if what you search for is always going to be in the top results. For supposedly having 120 billion pages indexed, you would think they would have a lot more of the web than they do. For now, I'm going to stick with Google.
