Ex-Google engineers debut 'Cuil' way to search
news.yahoo.com
A search for my name put me in a porno context with an image of a naked girl. The name of the video was "dirty movie", and the html title tag was "dirty movie on vimeo". This was not a pornographic video. Cuil matched a thumbnail image from movieon.com with a man and a woman having sex. This is something I dont want my name associated with.
Second, I did a search, then hit search again on the same keyword and it brought back 0 results. Took about five more clicks to get it to bring up results again. Another search said it found 8,000 results, but only gave me 3 pages worth of browsing. Last but not least the about page (http://www.cuil.com/info/) is not found.
I did several searches that said there were multiple pages of results but clicking the link to the second page brought up "no results".
I'm also not sure how fresh their index is. I went to a page from the results that didn't have the content the search said it did. Normally there would be several reasons for this but I happen to have enough knowledge of the target site to know they just have a very old version of it indexed.

in terms of the site itself, i am sort of liking the design / layout of the search, although like agotterer said, it still needs a lot of work -- from what i can tell, popular search terms have pretty darn good results but unpopular search terms return sub-par results (see his example haha)... in terms of a threat to google?? id have to say its not, at least in this stage of the game, but only time will tell i suppose...

Every response is copying the message from a post I wrote on an inactive blog. More active results don't appear whatsoever.
