Cuil ( ) was a search engine that organized web pages by content and displayed relatively long entries along with thumbnail pictures for many results. Cuil said it had a larger index than any other search engine, with about 120 billion web pages. It went live on July 28, 2008. Cuil's servers were shut down on September 17, 2010, with later confirmations the service had ended.
Cuil was managed and developed largely by former employees of Google, Anna Patterson and Russell Power. The CEO, co-founder, and Patterson's husband, Tom Costello, had worked for IBM and others. Cuil's privacy policy, unlike that of other search engines, said it did not store users' search activity or IP addresses.
