The Internet is getting bigger and more disorganized every day. Cuil’s goal is to solve the two great problems of search: how to index the whole Internet—not just part of it—and how to analyze and sort out its pages so you get relevant results.
Algunos ex - ingenieros de Google y varios otros han creado este nuevo buscador Web llamado Cuil que rompe paradigmas. Escrito desde cero, Cuil se enfoca en el contenido y trata de determinar los distintos contextos dentro de los cuales es utilizada una palabra para después agrupar esos contextos para evitar tener que pensar una forma distinta de realiza una búsqueda específica. Estos contextos distintos se convierten en tabs en la página de resultados. Todo esto se engloba en su filosofía resumida en 4 puntos:
- Size matters
- Popularity is useful, but not always important
- Organization is fundamental
- Cuil analyzes the Web, no its users
Otra cosa que llama la atención, es que Cuil afirma tener un índice que es 3 veces mayor que el de cualquier otro buscador existente. Obviamente no es posible confirmar este dato ni tampoco revelará Cuil la forma en que lo logran, pero teniendo en cuenta esta pequeña cita de su sitio no es difícil de creer:
Cuil’s technology was developed by a team with extensive history in search. The company is led by husband-and-wife team Tom Costello and Anna Patterson. Mr. Costello researched and developed search engines at Stanford University and IBM; Ms. Patterson is best known for her work at Google, where she was the architect of the company’s large search index and led a Web page ranking team. They refused to accept the limitations of current search technology and dedicated themselves to building a more comprehensive search engine. Together with Russell Power, Anna’s former colleague from Google, they founded Cuil to give users the opportunity to explore the Internet more fully and discover its true potential
Enhorabuena a las nuevas alternativas:
