A start-up led by former star Google engineers unveiled a new Web search service that aims to outdo the Internet search leader in size, but faces an uphill battle changing Web surfing habits. Cuil Inc (pronounced "cool") is offering a new search service at its website that the company claims can index, faster and more cheaply, a far larger portion of the the Web than Google, which boasts the largest online index.
Cuil was founded by a group of search pioneers, including Costello, who built a prototype of Web Fountain, IBM's Web search analytics tool, and his wife, Anna Patterson, the architect of Google Inc's massive TeraGoogle index of Web pages। Patterson also designed the search system for global corporate document storage company Recall, a unit of Australia's Brambles Ltd. The two are joined by two former Google colleagues, Russell Power and Louis Monier. Previously, Monier led the redesign of ecommerce leader eBay Inc's search engine and was the founding chief technology officer of two 1990s Web milestones, AltaVista and BabelFish, the first language translation site.
***********************************************
Summary of Cuil's features:
1. Biggest Internet search engine: Cuil has indexed 1.20 billion Web pages, 3x more than any other search engine.
2. Organized results: Cuil's magazine-style layout separates results by subject and allows further search by concept or category.
3. Different results: Unlike other search engines, Cuil ranks results by the content on each page, not its popularity.
4. Complete privacy protection: Cuil does not keep any personally identifiable information on users or their search histories.
Cuil (pronounced COOL) is a search engine that combines the largest Web index with content-based relevance methods, organized results, and complete user privacy. The company's next generation approach to search is the result of proprietary breakthroughs in search architecture and ranking algorithms.
