It’s Cuil.

Pronounced COOL.

You’ve never heard of it?

Neither had I.

But if you’re interested in content rather than popularity, may I suggest you check it out: www.cuil.com

Attention getting claim:
They’ve indexed three times more pages than any other search engine.

Here’s how they describe themselves…

“Cuil searches the Web for pages with your keywords and then we analyze the rest of the text on those pages. This tells us that the same word has several different meanings in different contexts. Are you looking for jaguar the cat, the car or the operating system?

We sort out all those different contexts so that you don?t have to waste time rephrasing your query when you get the wrong result.

Different ideas are separated into tabs; we add images and roll-over definitions for each page and then make suggestions as to how you might refine your search. We use columns so you can see more results on one page.

We think that if you are interested in content rather than popularity, you?ll find our approach more useful.” [source]
