A start-up led by former star Google engineers on Sunday unveiled a new Web search service that aims to beat the Internet search leader in size, but faces an ascending battle changing Web surfing habits. Cuil company is offering a new search service at http://www.cuil.pt/ that the company claims can index, faster and more cheaply, a far larger portion of the Web than Google, which boasts the larger online index.
The would be Google rival says its service goes beyond prevailing search techniques that focus on Web links and audience traffic patterns and instead analyzes the context of each page and the concepts behind each user search request. "Our significant breakthroughs in search technology have enabled us to index mush more of the Internet, placing nearly the entire Web at the fingertips of every user," Tom Costello, Cuil co-founder and chief executive, said in a statement.
Danny Sullivan, a Web search analyst and editor in chief of Search Engine Land, said Cuil can try exploit complaints consumers may have with Google namely, that it tries to do too much, that its results favor already popular sites, and that it leans heavily on certain authoritative sites such as Wikipedia. "The time may be right for a challenger," Sullivan says, but adds quickly:" Competing with Google is still a very daunting task, as Microsoft will tell you." Microsoft Corp, the No.3 U.S.player in Web has been seeking in vain, so far, to join forces with No.2 Yahoo Inc to battle Google.
