Albert, Alta Vista is nowhere near the powerhouse that Google is today.

What really irks me about this Cuil engine is that its description text is often way out of context. I looked up one of my niks I use on some forums and noticed that some pretty terrible things were being said that I would never write. It turned out to be the person who wrote right before me on that thread. But according to Cuil, I am guilty by association.

Lawrence: that’s what the fellows at Alta Vista used to say…

I gave Cuil a try and I like the layout of the search results. I have to agree with Ben though. Cuil may give better search results, however Google is much more versatile with their other integrated features such as Gmail, maps, finance, calendar, etc.

Cuil find Ian!

I really like the layout of the search results. It seems to give smarter results, because when I searched “wikinomics”, my report card on GM came up second

I will try to use Cuil all day long instead of Google for my searching needs.

However, I’ll still need to use Google finance all day. Google’s diversification into these other areas may end up saving its core searching business.
