It's a ridiculous layout IMHO, Seems to be a fixed width thing, which results in vast expanses of white unused space to the right of the results.

I knew you were going to say that!...

You have to admit it makes slightly less sense than google results layout :)

why would someone use Cuil? I mean, besides hating google (and yahoo and microsoft and all the other search engines out there)...?

Why are they still in business ?

Inertia. It takes a lot to stop a business once it's achieved a certain size. They have enough money not to go bankrupt, and I guess their VCs haven't decided to pull the plug yet.

Please fix irrelevant results. Search for 'rfid tutorial' gives a Java JDBC page at the top.

Also, layout is not a differentiation so please stick to google style and stop wasting time on it.

Cuil as a unit of measure: http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/7da5i/police_raid...

That is one of the funniest things I have read in a long long time. Although I do feel so sorry for them as an entrepreneur. It must be like some sort of terrible nightmare for them.

I really liked Cuil's old layout, and I like the new one even more. But the poor relevancy of search results prevents me from using them.
