Cuil is cooooool.....well, the buzz has been created in the market with decent success....last few days, I have been trying to get some pointers on MS Project. Google has not helped me so far. So, when I read this mail about Cuil, I gave it a try. The result: I was quite disappointed with Cuil!!! But going by Cuil's team, they are the 'best'. So, I have done a very very simple test....(please note that this does not indicate the actual performance, but just a pointer).
First, I just typed "India". Here, is the screenshot from Google, Cuil and Live
First, I just typed "India". Here, is the screenshot from Google, Cuil and Live
Cuil is nowhere there..in fact...on the panel in the right,if you expand the states, it justs lists some 8 odd states!!!! My gosh!!!
Live....jus made it ;-)
Let us give another try..this time, I am searching for Indian railways...
Google is PERFECT!
Cuil stumbles ;-)
well....Live lists one of the sites....the main reservation page isnt there..
Chalo...let us try something interesting..why not the recent SRK-Salman issues..Google again scores over the rest
Cuil and Live fail this search again...
Though this is not representative of the search abilites....for a common man like me....Google is way ahead of competition...afterall...accumulated knowledge over years is anyday better.

I agree...Google rocks!
I read about Cuil and liked the concept of structuring search results. Haven't tried it too much though. What I fail to understand is how is Cuil gonna keep updating this categorization by their claimed experts with the web growing at such pace. And if that does not happen soon...its gonna be ruled out as another search engine come and gone
