Since they are testing, it probably will get better. Like anything else though, technology will keep marching on and I am sure google is working on something in their labs as well. Hopefully down the line we are the ones who will benefit from this and it won't deteriorate into search engines that will only send whatever has the most paid advertising behind it.</p> Like everybody else, I noticed that cuil hasn’t picked up a lot of things and that they are picking up weird and wacky pictures to accompany the results.

By the way i tried “Adolf Hitler” in Cuil and found very good result it shouldn’t be searched by “AdolfHitler” i suppose.

I think Cuil doesn’t have the word processing and dictionary like algorithm’s yet but i am sure they will improve soon.

Lets see how far Cuil go where Google have the monopoly when it comes to search engine market.

Cheers
