That's so CUIL...

A new search engine was launched yesterday. It's called "cuil," and pronounced "cool." It was started by former Google employees who hope to give web surfers a better "search" experience.

One thing you'll notice immediately is the "text dropdown" as you type in your query. And when you've completed your search, it will provide a lot more information than other search engines.

Instead of showing snippets of of your search results, it displays longer entries and uses more pictures. It also provides tools to help users refine their searches.

The site boasts a database that searches over 120 billion web pages - larger than any other search engine. The company uses a form of data mining to group web pages by content, which makes the search engine more efficient.

So check it out. www.cuil.com
