There is a new search engine called Cuil which planned to take on Google. Cuil, dubbed itself as “the world’s biggest search engine,” which claimed that it searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft, according to its “About” page.

On Cuil’s landing page, it preserved the simple user interface as preserved by Google, but it’s a search engine in black, recognizing that black color could provide a lower level of energy power. According to The AP, it was co-founded by ex-Googlers, and being backed by a whopping $33 million in venture capital.

Since Cuil launched on the Web, its spokeswoman Katie Watson said her company still believes its index is the largest, with an index of 120 billion Web pages. If most of the Internet users identify Google as a company with a superlative Internet search tool, how we should identify Cuil? With the initial capacity of Cuil’s data center, it may cut into the Google revenue dominance in an easy manner.
