  2. "The world’s biggest index" indeed. I emailed them about it, but I advise you to use a proper search engine all the same. Google, Yahoo and Live all manage to index the site properly...

    Problem is that yahoo/google/aol keeps records of searched words.

    Privacy is a hot topic these days, and we want you to feel totally comfortable using our service, so our privacy policy is very simple: when you search with Cuil, we do not collect any personally identifiable information, period. We have no idea who sends queries: not by name, not by IP address, and not by cookies (more on this later). Your search history is your business, not ours.

    More precisely:
    Logs

    We do not keep logs of our users’ search activity.
    Cookies

    Cookies are small files on your computer that websites create to store user preferences, such as language settings. Each time you visit a Cuil page, your computer’s cookies automatically provide Cuil with your preferences. You can change or delete your cookies anytime via your Web browser options.

    We do not record the information in your cookies on our servers; your browser sends your preferences to us with each search request. This way, we do not store any personal information about you on our servers.

  4. A legitimate concern. I have my doubts as to whether they can compete without collecting the sort of information which is required to provide effective advertising though. Doesn't look like they will be around much longer either way - their $33 million has got them a site which is now less popular than us...
