Former workers at the web giant Google have launched a rival search engine.
Called Cuil, 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.
But analysts believe the new search engine, like many others, will struggle to match and defeat Google.linky no worky fuckers.

I gave it a shot earlier, with the first obvious search term anybody applies to a new engine - their name.
No joy.
Apparently, I am no one.
I mean, I know this, I just don't like having it confirmed by some upstart search engine.

slow, didn't find much of any relevance for my name compared to google, also, it's not google.
I find it impossible to believe this will do anything other than fail.

Yep, getting hammered. You'd have thought with $33m of funding they'd have put more capacity in place.
