Cuil (pronounced [kuːl], "cool") is a search engine that organizes web pages by content and displays relatively long entries along with thumbnail pictures for many results. It claims to have a larger index than any other search engine, with about 120 billion web pages. It went live on July 28, 2008.

Unlike other search engines, Cuil's privacy policy states that it does not store records of users’ search activity or IP addresses.

 

Cuil is managed and developed largely by former employees of Google: Anna Patterson, Russell Power and Louis Monier.Another founder, Tom Costello, has worked for IBM and others.The company raised $33 million in venture capital from Greylock and others.

 

Name

 

The Irish ancestry of Patterson's husband sparked the name Cuil, which is taken from a Celtic folklore character called Finn McCuill. The company says its name is Irish for knowledge and hazel.

 

Launch criticism

 

Cuil's launch was widely covered by the press, and was roundly ridiculed and panned by most reviewers. Concerns ranged from slow server response times to irrelevant or bad search results, and in at least one case inappropriately pornographic responses.Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Watch questioned the validity of Cuil's claim that it had the world's largest search engine index, and criticized it for focusing on size rather than quality.
