Anna Patterson, the President and COO of Cuil explained further: “Since we met at Stanford, Tom and I have shared a vision of the ideal search engine. Our team approaches search differently.”

Patterson continues: “By leveraging our expertise in search architecture and relevance methods, we’ve built a more efficient yet richer search engine from the ground up. The Internet has grown and we think it’s time search did too.”

Cuil also promises to “guarantee online privacy for searchers”, explaining that they “rank pages based on content instead of number of clicks”, something that makes “personal data collection unnecessary”, rendering “personal search history always private.”

Cuil list some interesting information on their philosophy, a quick demo of their features and a fascinating 11 question FAQ, which also explains that “Twiceler” is Cuil’s “web crawler”, which it says webmasters should be aware of.

All in all, it looks like the most exciting new search engine so far, and if it truly is any good, will give Google the impetus is needs to itself take its own search capabilities into the next dimension – being the biggest and best for too long with no true competition is no good for anyone!
