By Brenda Ross<\/strong><\/p>\n Search Engine Optimizer<\/strong> According to the Wall Street Journal, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft together control 90% of the U.S. search market and they don’t reveal the size of their indexes. Even though Cuil’s co-founder and president Anna Patterson once worked for Google, she still can’t confirm the size of Google’s indexing. But if Cuil’s numbers are correct, users should expect comparable – if not better – search results, right?<\/p>\n Based on the online chatter following Cuil’s July 28th unveiling, online users appear to be underwhelmed. Cuil promised users a “richer” display of results and organizing features that include tabs for subject clarification, images, and search refining suggestions. But while Cuil undeniably delivers on the pizzaz – the substance of the searches is another thing. And so far the internet hordes seem somewhat underwhelmed.<\/p>\n I have tried this search disaster and determined that they have one thing in mind. Building it to sell. It has no accurate results that compare to google, Live, Yahoo.<\/em>
\nThe newest Google slayer in Search Engine Land is called Cuil (pronounced Cool). Cuil boasts that it is the World’s Biggest Search Engine because it “has indexed 120 billion Web pages – three times more than any other search engine.” So one would think that means better search results than Google – right? Well, it all depends on how you define better.<\/p>\n
