    if Google is bad, others are worse.

    most people still find Google's results more relevant compared to other search engines and so Google is at the top.

    if you don't like it, don't use it.

    LOL sachin410, didn't I say that I use Yahoo? I think I made that very clear ;) Once in a while I run two searches, one on each of the two, and this is why I stand with what I wrote above. Example?
    do a search with these 2 words on both SE's: "kill someone". The site killsomeone . com is with 275 million results #2 on page #1 on yahoo, while on Google it is on #6 of page #1 and with 35 million results? But check also the surrounding links, sites and whatnot. Whatever, everyone is seeing what he wants to see :)

    Not sure, but they certainly know how to kill your bandwidth!

    Not many people will agree with you on that.

    Why do you think Google has a 70%+ market share?

    Yahoo just don't index efficiently and don't throw up relevant enough search results. Their best shot is revenue sharing which I know that they're doing at the moment, but not sure if it will really become that viral.:)

    Cuil? never heard of it, will never use it...but google is a billion dollar company. why do you think they make billions and google advertisers make nothing to peanuts...its why google is a billion dollar company and advertisers are not. It does baffle me that google is so good and they use no template on their google home page, nothing more then a search box...why not take after aol, and msn, and at least have some useful info/content on their home page? I guess it just tells you how good they are, and they can only get away with a mere search box on their home page.

    cuil is no doubt fairly new, and no new search engine can have their own searches in a short period
    of time, so it does not surprise me that they will cheat by pulling info from other engines, for now, they
    seem to be just riding other search engines for content.

    Google is so like a member of your family right now. It's too late to take over the position of something which has been in that position for a long period, beside the fact that people are used to it. How many of us use something else than google when we want to do a quick search?... Did I hear something?... Damn, I'm having hallucinations again.

    Cuil will never compare to Google or almost any other engine. It is sub-par in almost every way. I wanted it to succeed as there needs to be good competition for Google, but it never will. Too bad.

    It hasn't even indexed my blog! :angry:
    So, it's going to fail :)

    Nah but seriously, the search results look different and its got a "home" feeling to it :)
    I think it has potential if managed and "done" right in the coming years..but killing Google is probably one of the most unrealistic tasks on the internet.

    Props if they and directly compete with Google! We need some competition out there or Mr.G is just dominating all our lives :(

    NOBODY, I REPEAT NOBODY will ever touch Google. Even if somebody had a large budget, Google has too much of a head start.

    Cuil is nothing in front of Google. Google is lord of search engines.

    Great! :)

    Yeah I like their uncluttered landing page :)

    At least google gets things indexed quickly!

    Me too. But I had to find out about them a couple of years ago when they were sucking the life out of my site :D

    But, their results are pretty fine!
