Check out the new search engine launched by ex-Google employees set to take on the likes of Google and Yahoo. Cuil pronounced ‘cool’ is derived from the Irish word meaning knowledge.

Following its launch, the new search engine has proved more popular than anitcipated and is struggling due to the overwhelming demand!

Having had a quick look, the way the search results are displayed seems to be pretty ‘cuil’. It attempts to analyse the concepts behind each query and groups similar results together and sorts them by category along with images to identify subjects.

It also has indexed an incredible 120 billion web pages which is apparently 3 times more than any other search engine.

I tried searching for my site and wasnt overly impressed with the results so not loving it just yet…watch this space!
