Anna Patterson's last Internet search engine was so impressive that industry leader Google Inc. bought the technology in 2004 to upgrade its own system.
She believes her latest invention is even more valuable — only this time it's not for sale.
Patterson instead intends to upstage Google, which she quit in 2006 to develop a more comprehensive and efficient way to scour the Internet.
The end result is
Cuil, pronounced "cool." Backed by $33 million in venture capital, the search engine plans to begin processing requests for the first time Monday.
Cuil had kept a low profile while Patterson, her husband, Tom Costello, and two other former Google engineers — Russell Power and Louis Monier — searched for better ways to search.
Now, it's boasting time.
For starters, Cuil's search index spans 120 billion Web pages.

So, are we gonna start saying "Cuil it"?

try searchme. i've tried it a number of times especially if i can't get google to pinpoint relevant stuff without having me go somewhere around the 20th page.

You missed the most important detail....Cuil doesn't store any logs, IP address or any info about you or your searches. Absolute privacy ftw
