Taking a quick First Look at the new search engine Cuil.
On the surface it would appear to return more results but when looking at quoted phrases it does something unexpected. Quite often Cuil fails to find the quoted phrase. This is disappointing because it is often the way I track down what some obscure cryptic error message means and how I should resolve it.
The increase in research results also does not hold up in searching for obscure terms. In fact for the obscure "Corpen Source" Cuil currently finds nothing. Google on the other hand finds plenty.
Quality of results is a little bit subjective but Cuil appears to have the edge here. Although it may just be the way Cuil presents the results in a panel fashion together with an image that may be the advantage. Either way, Cuil has marginally better results or a much improved layout.
