wow, most useless search engine ever. tried searching for something for access, returned 2 results that had nothing to do with the subject at all.

:dunno: Maybe because it's not currently functioning? ;) ;)

The only reason it is seen as a threat is because there are many high profile people that started and are working on Cuil including people from Google, Teoma, etc.

Cuil has also gained a lot of attention by reigniting the size war for the search engines but after testing it with a handful of keywords, the search results are nowhere near the quality of Google's engine.

It works for me, although I don't think this will touch Google whatsoever. The interface is clean and fast, but I think most people are used to "googling" for their searches and don't like change.

We'll see though. :dunno:
