Former Google engineers launched their very own search engine called Cuil, pronounced as “cool”, claiming that it is indexing even more pages than Google, and not tracking the searches and surfing habits of users, unlike Google. Evil!

So how cool is Cuil? While some people are saying that it is not cool because it did not turn up as many search results as Google did, or perhaps not at all, Cuil is backed by Venture Capitalist funding to the tune of US$33 million.

So I guess as with all new start ups, let’s give it some time. As for me, I will continue to use Google Search Engine until Cuil is more established and REALLY have way more indexed pages like they claim. If so, I would just turn to Cuil because I really do not appreciate having my searches tracked and surfing pattern studied and analyzed. Cuil’s search layout may take some getting used to, though!
