Cuil, a california-based Internet search start-up company founded by four former Google engineers, unveiled its new search engine Cuil on the evening of July 27, 2008, and officially opened its search service in 2008-7-28. According to Cuil, the search engine Cuil has catalogued 120 billion internet pages, about 3 times times that of Google.

Software Small file:

First: Cuil interface

Cuil's homepage interface design is very concise, the whole black background, the big logo below is the search box and search button, the search box below shows the current number of Cuil currently included, the initial impression of the small series is very eye-catching.

Cuil displays search results in a way that is different from a traditional search engine, not as a list, but rather as a picture that looks like a thumbnail in Windows. In the upper-right corner of the search results, Cuil also gives 5 to 10 related search suggestions.

Cuil Results show:

It can be seen that for the display of search results, Cuil is particularly simple, including the most basic titles, abstracts and URLs.

Second: Language support

It is very regrettable that Cuil is currently supporting the search of English web pages. And according to Cuil company Patterson confirmed that in the early Cuil opening will be the main search and analysis of the U.S. English page. Strive to later this year, so that the European major language users can also use Cuil services. After expanding the language service, Cuil will put online ads in search results.

For example, we search the "China Army Software Park", Cuil display can not query any relevant results. It is important to note that Cuil currently support English search, so the Chinese Web page collection and cataloging is certainly insufficient, but this does not mean that Cuil can not search Chinese web pages, support for the current Chinese search support is very poor.

For example, we search "Shenzhen", Cuil can show 486,295 results, but this and Google's 306 million search results, compared to too much.

Third: Search Service category

For the support of the search service, currently Cuil only supports Web search, and other subdivision search services such as pictures, audio, video and other formats are not supported.

Four: Average search speed (time consuming)

Compared to Google, Cuil's search speed does not occupy any advantage, in fact, in the test of the sense of Cuil average search time is longer than Google.

V: Search Performance

According to Cuil, the search engine Cuil has catalogued 120 billion internet pages, about 3 times times that of Google.

For Web search, Cuil performance let small series is not too satisfied, can only search English Web page, the Chinese Web page search results are very small, the precision is relatively low, relevance is also relatively poor, and Google compared with a larger gap;

Sixth: Barking Prediction

For the current search engine, its future or the future for some time the direction of development, small series that: in the search results accurate premise, the search service category of subdivision and more specialization will be unstoppable trend, and from this will be born in the search engine field dazzling Nova, Its aura may even overtake Google and Baidu at some point in the future. www.xyfzl.com.cn Thank you for bringing a connection, I will work harder.

PostScript：

The Cuil name comes from Gaelic, which means "knowledge", and its pronunciation is the same as the English word "cool". According to Cuil developers, Cuil is able to provide a larger number of index pages and retrieve faster than Google. Traditional search engines mainly focus on the search of web links and analysis of Internet users browsing habits, and Cuil only focus on the analysis of Web content. But Cuil's biggest bright spot is its privacy policy, which Google will keep for 18 months, and Cuil will not keep it. When users use Cuil services, they do not have to worry about their personal privacy being compromised. Cuil Enterprise Communications Vice President Vince Sollitto also said that there are two major problems affecting the Cuil search quality. First, Cuil tries to give users different search results, so it is impossible to have a search result similar to a traditional search engine. Second, the flow of Cuil since the line exceeded the company's expectations. For other Web2.0 services, traffic is too general to cause interruption of service. But for Cuil, traffic is too general to affect search results, not access speed.

In addition, Cuil's search rankings are somewhat outdated. Google ranked the popularity of Web pages, while Cuil only focused on analyzing web content. Theoretically speaking, Cuil's search results should be more accurate in this way, but in practice, Google's approach is more responsive to user inquiries. Compared with the traditional search engine, Cuil is also a unique feature: Cuil return results are divided into three columns, users can also preview the content of these links, but this approach is not the Cuil initiative.

Evaluation Summary:

In short Cuil can become "Google Killer", and ultimately to see the future Cuil return the quality of the search results. But for now, the gap between Cuil and Google is still relatively large, in a short period of time can not shake Google the Internet domain of the Super overlord. But small knitting hope in the near future, Cuil can become the search engine field of a dazzling star.
