MENLO PARK, Calif. -- July 28, 2008 -- Cuil, a technology company pioneering a new approach to search, unveils its innovative search offering, which combines the biggest Web index with content-based relevance methods, results organized by ideas, and complete user privacy. Cuil.com has indexed 120 billion Web pages, three times more than any other search engine.
Cuil (pronounced COOL) provides organized and relevant results based on Web page content analysis. The search engine goes beyond today’s search techniques of link analysis and traffic ranking to analyze the context of each page and the concepts behind each query. It then organizes similar search results into groups and sorts them by category.

Initial thoughts -- the main page took too long to load; the results are displayed in an interesting, un-search-engine kind of way. I'm not sold yet but will continue to tinker.
