Very simple pretty look, the black background looks nice with the blue search button and rounded text area box. The engine fast and gives results almost instantly. A great thing for them is after you have done a search, there is a preference link at the top of the page. so far there are only two options there, but in time I am positive they will include new applets that run with the site’s engine. This could be a good thing. I have yet to have found a “submit url” on the site, but I did find a link to talk to tech support, I did request a few things. When they reply I will be posting more on that subject. Yes I did cover a link submission. If they know what’s best and simplest for them, they will bring that option in. If they bring it in too soon, chances are we are looking at another crash like their launch. I can imagine all of the people flooding in to submit the links. All at once. The name is short and easy to type and remember. The place has huge potential of being the greatest. But I had to do a search.
First thing I had to do is a vanity search on cuil.

I found links that are well over a year old and dead.
I found links from a blog I deleted nearly two years ago.
None of my current /recent projects showed up. (recent as in within the past year and a half.
When I got home I did a search for a Fire Alarm company in Houston that I built a website for
But the results show a website that has been on a whole new server for about two months now.

The old long dead link, out ranks the fresh clean actual page.
Try HiTech Integrated Solutions, Similar results.
Cuil needs to re-crawl pages and check for updates.
As of right now, Not quite the Google killer some have claimed. But really this company seems a bit more modest than that. They might just be a new search.
Hiya TruXter.
I have to agree on the over all look of Cuil. The interface and the way Cuil displays the results is really quite fresh & new.
The way the search suggestions work do a fairly good job narrowing content as well.
The only problem, as you’ve stated, are the results themselves. The results are often jumbled in a seemingly incorrect order. Or, the first page of hits will contain redundant or outdated material. This is not always a bad thing though! It depends on what kind of search you are performing.
I actually like the way Cuil works……Not like Google.
In reality, if I were searching for the current events, I would use Google, hands down.
However, if I wanted to find out obscure information and at the same time be entertained by the interface and the sheer ‘roll of the dice’ factor….It may be Cuil.
This is what might make Cuil become the ‘extra’ browser of choice by Google users. Although unlikely (I hope) to become the Google killer, it really has the potential to evolve into the ‘little brother’ to Google.
That is a good thing for them IMHO. Being second choice to Google in the Browser Wars is a great thing for Cuil & users alike
