Cuil - New search engine aims at Google
Cuil - an another challenger for Google. Former Google employees launched this rival search engine. Cuil is an old Irish word for knowledge. The founders claimed that, Cuil is the world’s biggest search engine and searches more pages on the Web than anyone else. Three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft.
” If a search engine is incapable of indexing the Internet properly how can it hope to provide accurate search results? ” - I found at Cuil. Is this about Google?
Google searches and ranks based on number and quality of links to and from a web page. Unlike Google, Cuil searches for and ranks pages based on their content and relevance. The technology used to index web pages in Cuil can analyze content of the page. Cuil’s search index spans over 120 billion Web pages.
The features of Cuil includes Drilldowns, Roll-Over definitions, Tabs and Navigation Suggestions. For the search word Steve Jobs, The results are shown below according to Cuil features.
Drilldown - At the right hand side of the search results we can see a panel called ” Explore by Category ” with a list of subjects related to the search.
Roll-Over Definition - When you pause on a subject suggested by “Explore By Category,” a definition of that term may appear.
Tabs - Cuil helps you to search by offering you other choices and suggestions. Cuil will show you “Tabs” that suggest ways to clarify your search.
Navigation Suggestions - When you type a query, sometimes you’ll see a search suggestion with an icon representing a website. Click on this link and you will go directly to that website.
And Here is the complete search page for the key word Steve Jobs.
