Well I just navigated my way over to this site and I have to admit that I kind of liked it. My love of Google has always been fueled by their plainness of search. I think I’m not alone in my dislike of the useless ad gimmicks like the proverbial blow-up gorilla at the used car lot. So when I clicked over to Cuil, I immediately appreciated the lack of flashing and framing on this website . . . in fact, as I began looking for advertisements, I couldn’t find anything; no banners, no links, no superfluous pictures or words, nada. It was plain, easy to absorb, with useful search prompts in the form of tabs and tables that expanded when moused over.

One thing that I really liked is that results usually include a site image, which I have to admit, really seems handy. Site images or logos often help me identify if I’ve found the right link or not and having them attached directly to the search engine page might just save me a click or two.

I would agree that this engine is not yet seasoned like Google. It does not yet possess the psychic/blatant-stereotyping powers of Google. I’m guessing the page ranking is still in process and getting the more popular pages to the front of the search list may take some time and clicking . . . all in all though, it seems to have some remarkable edge despite the fact that it’s approaching a super-duper power . . .

Oh and one last thing . . . I’ve searched a fair amount of the “no results” topics listed above and found the subjects just fine, with plenty of data . . . and not that I don’t love Google’s mass quantity of results, but do we really need 360 million results from any search engine? In fact, any site will limit your viewable results to about 1000 links no matter how many millions of results it has allegedly found.
