Thumbs up CUIL search engine

http://www.cuil.com/

i like it.

here is a link to an article about it.

Ex-Google Engineers Debut Google Competitor

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ― Anna Patterson's last Internet search engine was so impressive that industry leader Google Inc. bought the technology in 2004 to upgrade its own system.

She believes her latest invention is even more valuable - only this time it's not for sale.

Patterson instead intends to upstage Google, which she quit in 2006 to develop a more comprehensive and efficient way to scour the Internet.

The end result is Cuil, pronounced "cool." Backed by $33 million in venture capital, the search engine plans to begin processing requests for the first time Monday.

Cuil had kept a low profile while Patterson, her husband, Tom Costello, and two other former Google engineers - Russell Power and Louis Monier - searched for better ways to search.

Now, it's boasting time.

For starters, Cuil's search index spans 120 billion Web pages.

Great link Moi! I have considered it but not seriously, maybe I should reconsider. It would definitely be excellent on a resume!
