  • Semantic Search with Cuil

    0

    Cuil (pronounced “cool”) is a search engine unveiled on July 28, 2008. Recently several start-ups wanted to establish on the hard search engines market, but also big companies like Microsoft and Yahoo managed it to attack Google. But the semantic search of Cuil tries to make it different. Uniquely, it organizes web pages by content and displays relatively long entries and pictures for each result. It claims to have a larger index than any other search engine, with about 120 billion web pages. Cuil is managed and developed largely by former employees of Google.

    Today it started their service and provided relatively good results in my opinion. The search results are not in form of a list, it is more like the layout of an online magazine. Cuil can use 33 million $ Venture-capital. Also Tom Costello is on board, who has worked in the field of search technologies for IBM and made research at the Stanford University.
