Cuil is a search engine developed by ex-googlers. It claims to have the largest search data base (121,617,892,992 on 2nd September). Unlike google, it displays the results with thumbnails of the pages. It also does not store user’s activities and or IP addresses. According to Nielsen NetRatings Search Engine Ratings Google enjoys 49.2%, Yahoo 23.8% , MSN 9.6% and the remaining by ASK, AOL etc. Users reported certain bugs in cuil. However, Cuil's VP of communications Vince Sollitto said the search engine was experiencing heavy first day overloads. Sollitto said Cuil "will only improve with time. It's day one. Traffic is massive. We're new. There are bugs to fix, results to improve.”

Cuil claimed to index 120 billion of pages but I have yet to see my site url listed on them. I also find their layout confusing. I prefer to use a SE with simple, linear layout like Find.com.
It is the layout that makes Cuil unique. Perhaps the website indexing and caching algorithm isn't as highly developed like Google or Live Search. Search engines usually take time for indexing a page. When did you create your page?
