New search engine, Cuil

[JCS]

Cuil a new search engine debuting today, it was developed by Tom Costello, an Stanford University teacher and his wife Anna Patterson, a former architect of Google search, With 121,617,892,992 web pages indexed today, Cuil promises to be faster, more comprehensive and better than Google's flagship search engine in pretty much every way.

Unlike Google, which measures the amount of incoming link to a site and based on that assigns significance in the search results (PageRank), Cuil analyzes the contents of the websites in a "context", giving them relevance the terms used in a search. In obtaining the results, these are organized in groups separated by tabs. For example, searching for "Football", all results will appear in two or three columns, but also tabs for "Basketball", "Football" and "Futbol Argentino", in addition to other photos and videos if they were the case. You can also showing a box with complementary categories. The idea is that the data are separated into groups to facilitate finding the correct result. By default, Cuil has activated a way to secure searches (so they do not show results uploaded tone), and the role of "Typing Suggestions," which suggests search terms as you're writing.
