    What is www.cuil.com ?? Just used it and when I search for a search term associated with my website, it comes up with someone elses website but uses my websites logo next to it to link to their website, similar thing happens with other websites using other websites logos?? Surely they cannot get away with doing this??

    live.com is a short domain. It got to be my favorite domain too.

    This is almost one year old thread and as surprisingly dreamed by OP then, Microsoft did change the name of its search engine to Bing! :rolleyes:

    Yahoo and MSN are at a loss because they not index sites as fast as google, the google crawlers are everywhere. So they can change their domain name, it won't happen anything, they will need to be fast.
