Cuil Search Engine Reviews

Total Rating: 6 of 10

Summary of review published by Laptop Magazine — October, 2008

Rated 3 of 5


While Cuil was created by some of those responsible for Google’s powerful indexing system, it may take some time before it can be as good as the search engine giant. The main search page of Cuil is simple yet striking: a single search bar on top of a black background. Quite the reverse is the results page, displayed on a white background and appearing as blurbs across three columns. The reviewer noted that the interface of Cuil is not for people who need answers in a hurry. It goes through great lengths to help users find what they’re looking for. When you start typing in the search bar, it offers suggestions. Searching for something other than a person will produce tabs on the top of the screen helping you refine your search. However, search results are hit-and-miss when it comes to their relevance. The reviewer also noted that the results were a pain to page through. Overall, if you aren’t in a hurry and you enjoy curiously clicking around the Web, then Cuil might be the search engine for you. But if you need relevant answers fast, do your search somewhere else.
Pros:
-provides autocompleting search bar
-refined searches through tabs
-includes Blog-oriented results
-no advertisements
Cons:
-cluttered search result page
-results aren’t always relevant
