More on Cuil
Description from Wikipedia:
Cuil (pronounced: /ˈkuːl/ "cool" according to the creators) 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.
Cuil's privacy policy, unlike that of other search engines, says it does not store users’ search activity or IP addresses.
Cuil is managed and developed largely by former employees of Google, Anna Patterson and Russell Power. The CEO and co-founder, Tom Costello, has worked for IBM and others. The company has raised $33 million from venture capital firms including Greylock.
