    Yesterday I searched for a term in Cuil.com
    it came up a result of my web site with an image that is not in my site.
    Cuil is still constructing ?
    You also can mail to cuil suggesting URL's.
    Is it a human serach engine like Mahalo ?

    They have been putting the wrong logo with most websites from the very beginning. I find it extremely odd that they haven't fixed it. I mean come on, the crawler knows what website it is on when it downloads the image file.

    So, it seems to me that either they can't figure out where the problem is, or they just don't care. Either way, that's not a good sign.

    I think while they had the hype, this image stuff has crippled their reputation. I mean when there was a complaint about some image that shown for an innocent keyword. So i think maybe they're a little off the ball right now

    Cuil had a chance to prove itself, but it is basically just a heavily hyped piece of junk. It is not accurate, images are misleading and they DO NOT RESPOND to inquiries at any level (I have tried calling and emailing to no avail). If I were them I would either communicate better and tell everyone that it will get better, or just go out of business already.

    Does Cuil knows the common sense of doing businesses ?
    They have got much publicity at the initiating the search engine.
    But right now it's idling.
    Google, Yahoo. MSN is not the internet. We want new comers with innovations.
    But Big G's and other big M,Y,D..,..,..,...'s are defeating them.

    I don't see Cuil going anywhere. It had potential in the beginning but they've really dropped the ball.

    Yup, agreed.

    The whole grabbing images and mixing them up on the search results - instead of just displaying the correct image really hurt their reputation. I don't know anyone that uses them regularly.

    I think it's human based on some aspects.
    If your site not found in cuil, there is a option to submit the site by sending an email to Cuil.
