Unknown search engine pretend to be the biggest
Unknown search engine cuil.com states that have index size of 127,000,000,000 (127 billions) pages.
Excerpt from cuil’s about page:
Welcome to Cuil—the world’s biggest search engine. The Internet has grown. We think it’s time search did too.
The Internet has grown exponentially in the last fifteen years but search engines have not kept up—until now. Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft.
Rather than rely on superficial popularity metrics, Cuil searches for and ranks pages based on their content and relevance. When we find a page with your keywords, we stay on that page and analyze the rest of its content, its concepts, their inter-relationships and the page’s coherency.
I don’t know the way how to check real size of Cuil’s index. But search for this blog by its name “java never die” fails. (In Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask — appears in the first place.) It does was indexed by Cuil but not with all keywords. Cuil’s algorithm seems to be much less smart than those of popular search engines.
