SAN FRANCISCO — There is a “cool” new search engine on the market that is primed to knock-off search engine giant Google.

            On July 28, the new search engine Cuil (pronounced “cool”) was released on the internet by former Google employees. Cuil claims to have access to over 120 billion websites and provides a more organized way to search the internet.

            "We've developed new architecture and algorithms that can handle the exponential growth of the Internet and organize results that reflect its enormous complexity," said Cuil engineers on their website on Monday.

            The search engine was founded by Anna Patterson, Russell Power, Louis Monier, and Anna’s husband Tom Costello. They felt that Google had grown complacent and people needed something new to correlate with the ever changing face of the internet.

            “The Internet has grown exponentially in the last 15 years but search engines have not kept up—until now. Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—3 times as many as Google and 10 times as many as Microsoft,” said Cuil in a news report.

            Cuil provides more privacy than Google by not storing users' search history, which will allow people to freely use the search engine without worrying about their privacy being invaded.

            “With Cuil, your search history is always private,” stated the founders.

            The search engine looks to index the whole internet and while also providing more relevant search results at the same time. Cuil got its name from an old Irish word that means knowledge.

            Analysts contend that Google has become too ingrained in today’s society, but only time will tell how “cool” Cuil will turn out to be.
