Former workers at the web giant Google have launched a rival search engine.
Called Cuil (pronounced “cool”), from the Gaelic for knowledge and hazel, its founders claim it does a better and more comprehensive job of indexing information online. The technology it uses to index the web can understand the context surrounding each page and the concepts driving search requests, say the founders. Rather than displaying results in a list, like Google, Cuil shows them on a page which has a more magazine-like feel.
Analysts believe the new search engine, like many others, will struggle to match and defeat Google. Read more on the goliath challenger Cuil here.
