Tom Costello, CEO of Cuil said that "The Web continues to grow at a fantastic rate and other search engines are unable to keep up with it,Our significant breakthroughs in search technology have enabled us to index much more of the Internet, placing nearly the entire Web at the fingertips of every user."
Stealth startup Cuil (pronounced "cool") is a next-generation search site that claims its index holds three times as many pages as Google, while requiring far fewer servers. Cuil co-founder and former Google project leader Anna Patterson told PC Magazine that Cuil's search index will debut with a 120 billion-page index, compared with Google's 40 billion out of the Internet's total of 140 billion pages.
By dividing different topics among different servers, Cuil can utilize far fewer servers than Google and return more relevant results, according to Patterson. Cuil's server farm can host the index on just $5 million worth of servers, while Google's smaller index requires hardware costing in the hundreds of millions. Queries to Cuil are routed to the pertinent server rather than through the whole server farm.
Cuil indexes pages based on relevance, rather than popularity based on link analysis, as Google does, and analyzes the context of the page and the concept behind queries. The site displays results in multiple columns with thumbnail images and tabs for result categories.
Patterson also claimed that Cuil provided more privacy than Google, as it doesn't gather any personally identifiable information on users or their search histories.

While searching BE CAREFUL about the spellings.
Here are my Findings.
I tried to search "fundamentalls of insurance domain" (Note that i have entered two "ll's") i got the spell check in google,
But i got the following message....
"No results were found for: fundamentalls of insurance domain
If you’ve checked your spelling, you could try using fewer or different keywords to broaden your search.
Still no luck? Send us your feedback: noresults@cuil.com "
So it has some pros and cons.
Let us see how it will survive in the industry against the GAINT GOOGLE .
