Cuil vs. Google

By now if you probably heard about Cuil, the new search engine that claims to be the biggest (since when does size matter when it comes to search engines?) And secondly is being given a PR pass because it was created by 'ex-Google employees' - I guess that's a major element for success?

Anyway, after doing my obvious test searches, like Curacao, Arlington Mass, and BlogBridge, I thought I would try each against an actual useful search I had been doing over the weekend:

*ipod cradle wireless sync*

See the results for yourself: Google results and Cuil Results.

Anyway it's just one test, but for me the Cuil results for the ipod cradle produced no results at all!

Give everyone the benefit of the doubt though:

• Why are people making a fuss about the fact that it was down on day one?

• I will check my test search again in coming days because it easily good be a transient condition
