New search engine Cuil (pronounced “cool”) allegedly searches through 121 billion pages and ranks by “content and relevance” — I’m not that impressed as I didn’t get any results for UX Magazine. Really?

Jez: No problem. ;)
Harry: Considering there’s $33 Million investment and that this is their grand opening it is embarrassing. Not the “holy crap!” moment you got when you first Googled something. But I’m willing to believe that their technology is at the very least interesting and while we might not really need another Google (re. Jez) it’s always good to see someone aggressively challenging the status quo. Not sure they can manage on their own but if the tech is there then I’m sure Microsoft or Yahoo (or even YahooSoft!) will be interested.
When I tested it this morning, I got results. When I try it now, it could not find any results.
I tried last night twice, and got zero results for either the name of my website or the phrase “hydrogen synthesis.” The latter had about a 10 second wait-time before any rendering happened.
I’m glad they’re stirring some competition into the search arena, but they could have made a stronger first showing.
I’ve been seeing strange results (re: unreliable). A search for “hundred years war” initially gave me back spam like search results (ie: garbage) but later gave me back a nice list of articles and a gray box of other searches (branches) to go off of.

compared to Google’s 162,000 results, that is quite embarrassing.
Do we really need another search engine anyway?
