New search engine: CUIL.com

I know, they pop oup everywhere lol, but this one I liked really well.It also share the same approach to indexing as Google - the developers are ex-google people. The search results are clean and use the page space much better, of course the results isn't all thee yet since its new, but nonetheless:

lol, ex Google team.. haha.. Stolen ideas?

I'll check it out

Seems they really got it off too: 50 million searches on day one lmao. http://www.cuil.com/info/announcements/

Stolen or not, they do improve on it, I have already set as default in Firefox.

I had a quick look.. I like the descriptive results. I'm not sure I will use it enough to replace Google just yet. I guess thats the problem, people are now set in their ways as with M$ and refer to a search as, "have a Google".

Heres an interesting, old but interesting script I have on my site, put it in a HTML Article

I didn't see the point of posting it here, some of the engines no longer exist and I'd hardly use it myself, more of a novelty tbh. It opens each result in a new window/tab so can quickly get out of control.
