Former employees of Google have started a new search engine “CUIL” (pronounced as “Cool”). CUIL is making waves in the industry now…not sure the intensity of those waves but, do the users are ready for a new search engine like CUIL Search Engine? or move from their personal Google search engine?

Microsoft has built a search engine over no. of years and still trying to capture the considerable share in the search market.  Yahoo had acquired several companies like Inktomi with Overture and still have problems in having a pretty lower share in the search market.

Search Engine AskJeeves who built Teoma which was making similar waves like CUIL and people were hoping that it would replace google but it got failed.  Whether it is Teoma or Cuil, everyone was focusing on crawling the web extensively and increasing the indexing more documents than their competition and coming up with a innovative way of displaying the results. With the web scrappers sites are poping up extensively, I don’t think it is a valid USP to have “No of pages indexed”.  The question is…

Do the users ready to move from Google?

It is pretty clear that the users need easy to find, fast to access, and finally relevant to what they are looking.  I think Google has all of it to a large extent, but does that what CUIL was also looking at.  Unless users get these three benefits I don’t think they would be interested to get something new.
