The internet search engine that trades under an Irish name — Cuil.com

THE world’s latest and, its owners claim, biggest search engine has been named after the Irish word for knowledge.

Cuil.com’s search index spans 120 billion web pages. To put that into context while Google no longer reveals the breadth of its index, three years ago it covered 8.2 billion web pages.

The new site has been co-founded by former Google employee Anna Patterson and her husband, Irishman Tom Costello.
