Cuil

A search engine that was brought out in July 2008 to rival internet powerhouse Google. Cuil claims to have a larger index than any other search engine, with about 120 billion web pages.

However, Cuil sucks total ass and is wierd and basically no one likes it!

critics have questioned the validity of Cuil's claim that it had the world's largest search engine index and criticized it for focusing on size rather than relevance.
