Have you ever looked at Google and thought: "There aren't enough search results here"? Well, surprisingly, you are not alone. Today marked the launch of a new search engine, known as Cuil (pronounced Cool). The founders claim that with 120 billion (yes, 120,000,000,000) sites indexed, that they have 3 times the total sites indexed of the market leader Google."The Web continues to grow at a fantastic rate and other search engines are unable to keep up with it,” said Tom Costello, CEO and co-founder of Cuil. “Our significant breakthroughs in search technology have enabled us to index much more of the Internet, placing nearly the entire Web at the fingertips of every user. In addition, Cuil presents searchers with content-based results, not just popular ones, providing different and more insightful answers that illustrate the vastness and the variety of the Web."

He probably meant the search results layout..
Google has 1 trillion URLs. Cuil claims 120 Billion Sites. I took Googles claim to mean more than one URL per site, but that article didn't specify how many sites.
I, like everyone else, like how cuil displays results, but think the results themselves are lousy.
Due to excessive load, our servers didn't return results. Please try your search again.
first time i see this on a search engine
horrible search results, bad interface, and wtf do the little photos have to do with the returned items?

So I guess my search results are nonexistent.
That's NOT so "Cuil!!"
Until they provide much better search results, I'll stick to a search engine that provides more meaningful results, even if they index fewer pages (which in the case of link farms and squatters, is a good thing).
Not sure I would call that a "breakthrough" or "more insightful answers" for that matter.
Maybe cuil is what was culled as crap from good search engines.
they should collect some information from users if they are to improve their search results.
