Former Employees of Google Launches Rival Search Engine

SAN FRANCISCO: -- In her two years at Google, Anna Patterson helped design and build some of the pillars of the company’s search engine, including its large index of Web pages and some of the formulas it uses for ranking search results.

The makers of the http://www.Cuil.com search engine say it should provide better results and show them in a more attractive manner.

Now, along with her husband, Tom Costello, and a few other Google alumni, she is trying to upstage her former employer.

On Monday, their company, http://www.Cuil.com, is unveiling a search engine that they promise will be more comprehensive than Google’s and that they hope will give its users more relevant results.

I found I had to switch off safe search in preferences before I got anything Thailand related... wonder what that says

PS I like the non existent Privacy page..... keep saying beta beta

It misses that what google.com has made it so great ... the simple and fast no nonsense interface ...
