Three engineers announced Sunday the opening of a new search engine called Cuil (pronounced “cool”), whose index would amount to 120 billion Web pages, compared to 40 billion claimed by Google links. The founders of Cuil, who believe they may be able to index faster and cheaper deep Web, also claim to be able to establish classification algorithms taking into account the context of each page to better decide what are the results must be brought to the fore. Ultimately, the system would prove according to its creators much more relevant that the mechanisms Page rank Trust Rank and implemented by Google. Cuil going to be a  Google killer?
At the root of Cuil are Tom Costello, the origin of the first semantic search engine developed at IBM, accompanied by his wife, Anna Patterson, who was once the architect of the tool indexing Tear Google, deployed on the data centers of the Mountain View firm since 2006. Launched in 2005, the company has a capital of 33 million, obtained at two fundraising. Only $ 5 million would have been necessary for the creation of this index of 120 billion pages, show the founders. Search Cuil
In addition to this index disproportionate Cuil try to stand out by a certain “idealization” search results: they are grouped into categories, and suggested more detailed research are proposed. A step closer to what started as engines Ask.com or French Exalted that model Google. Currently limited to English, Cuil should be open to European languages by the end of the year.
One final point: while Google is the subject of controversy in the management of privacy (see Case including Viacom and privacy: YouTube resists), Cuil not retain any personal identifiable information on the Internet using the engine. A few hours after launch, there is no reason to assume an index greater than that of competitors engines: on generic queries, Google returns a number of systematically results more important than Cuil. It remains a presentation of results-type magazine, featured images, relatively elegant, but devoid of extreme sobriety that has made the success of Google. A break-in period would be necessary?
