    Yep cuil has been in beta for what seems like forever. I remember talking to one of the programmers at an SES conference last year and the guy just couldn't stop grinning

    but really ... I doubt they will upstage google... what will happen is that they will force google to finally evolve the way it does search si ce cuill can care two cents about backlinks when calculating serp positions and brings a web 2.0 interface to search

    the key will be in the young and college crowd... if cuil can promote a rebellious or cooler than dads search engine attitude among the young then yeah google would have a serious problem 3 or 4 years from now. But yeah this is definitely something to watch

    as long as the VC money keeps rolling in and she dosent give in and fold with a sell to google

          Maybe its because of all the press they're getting today but the server seems very slow in getting responses when doing searches.

                im sure google does not overlook anything considering how they came from a time when Yahoo was the word, and the others were on decline.

                however, I'm sure if its really that functional, they'll adapt.

                    Its not only slow, but is giving some strange results, and sometimes saying that there is nothing for the search term, then if you hit search again, it gives the results.

                          So far the results are pretty good. Try searching for something other than porn. Those results are shitty.

                          I've been searching for a decent sqlite gui like phpmyadmin for mysql. I found one using cuil this morning.

                                    if you do a search for "cock faggot" you'll see how the results are not only inaccurate, but the safe mode doesn't work.


                                    A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".

                                    So, I fucked her twice and hit her with a brick.

                                      Well the reason google took their market share is because they were really accurate. They were the first true search engine that really gave good results. The page was simple, no bells and whistles, but it just worked.

                                      Difficult to beat them now. I must admit there are some SERP are spammed now because of their value which diminishes the quality of their search results but you can still find pretty much what you are looking for.

                                          Google is more than a simple search engine, we are not in 1998 anymore.

                                          Nowadays Google is a dictionary word, deep pockets, the us government, a massive network of supercomputers.

                                                            Nowadays Google is a dictionary word, deep pockets, the us government, a massive network of supercomputers.
                                                            Every once in a while you make an intelligent observation.

                                                                              Sites that were using the name of my websites in it came up higher.

                                                                              What is worse, is that the totally unreleated ones (just using the name of the site as an account on another site) came up higher.

                                                                              Hell I'm not talking about small fries, I'm talking about a domain that get 3 to 4 millions page views per day.
