So what? That would be an achievement if the search results were any good - but they're not. You get what you paid for, obviously.

I could not get a single search correct when I tried using them for a week. As a rule of thumb all apps get a week try out before I adopt them. Google has no problem with all the manufacturer knowledge base items I search for so I'll be staying with them. Cuil is definitely not Cool.

You gotta be able to search for exact phrases. Tried searching in quotes, gave me the same results as if I weren’t even using quotes. You gotta be able to search for exact phrases.

I don't care how big their search index is. I tried 6 different searches of varying subject, and every time it gave me completely unrelated search results, and a couple of those times, I got search results for porn, which I was none too happy about. I will just stay with Google, thank you very much. Been using Google for years now, by far the best search engine, never done me wrong. I tried Cuil, and it’s not so “cuil”.

For whatever reason it doesn't like Lockergnome very much. It only displayed the Nexus and no posts from our blogs. Most of the results are about you, ZDTV, Tech TV, and Leo(why does he pop up on every search?). The problem with Cuil is that it offers nothing better than Google so there is no reason to move to it as a primary search engine. Maybe they will get it right but until then Google is my search engine of choice. -matt I tried it out for a few minutes but never returned to use it as a search engine.
