Cuil Search Engine from Ex-Google engineers
There is a great new search engine Begin Monday: Cuil. Developed and governed by the husband-and-wife team of Stanford Professor Tom Costello and former Google search architect Anna Patterson, it’s high-pitched as a larger, faster and better than Google’s flagship search engine in almost every way. See video interview with Tom Costello, below.
Anna Patterson last Internet search engine has been so impressive that the industry leader Google Inc. bought the technology in 2004 to modernise its own system.
It believes its latest invention is even more valuable - only this time it is not for sale.
Patterson intends to place behind Google, which was completed in 2006 for a comprehensive and effective way of cleaning the Internet.
The end result is Cuil, pronounced “cool”. Backed by $ 33 million in venture capital, plans to launch a search engine processing of applications for the first time on Monday.
Cuil had kept a low profile, while Patterson, her husband, Tom Costello, and two other former Google engineers - Russell Power and Louis Monier - looking for better ways to search.
Now, it’s boasting time.
Web index: For starters, Cuil’s search index spans 120 billion Web pages.
Patterson believes that it is at least three times the size of Google’s index, even though there is no way to know for certain. Google no longer publicly quantify the index is the width of nearly three years ago, when the catalogue distributed 8.2 billion Web pages.
