They need to make the search more accurate and relevant. But there interface looks good to me.

@Keith
When i said 1 day old, i mean live version. Sure they are in stealth mode for 2 eyars but they never opened to users and they don’t know the feedback to refine it based on user feedback.
Regarding claims yes i agree with you, they hyped it themselves.

@Prof Kienstra
Well if it is really learning from past searches then it is a good thing.

[...] did receive some praise for it’s (web 2.0.ish) appearance – meaning that the search field has, well, rounded edges and the search button comes with a shine [...]

I found also that it got less search results than Google, but what i noticed was that on the first search for a certain subject it found nothing. When i repeated that search an hour or so later, it got some results… So it may be learning or using search requests to crawl for further information?

Well it is quite true that everyone jumped to conclusions and gave cuil a thumbs down, but just for your information Cuil is not 1 day old and has been in the making for last 2 years with intensive testing.

And to top that their claims have been too huge too fathom.
