Their attempt to rewrite Irish is a laugh. Cuil is not the Irish for
'knowledge'. But as a seach engine, Google still beats it. Its use of
images is a problem as they are often unrelated to the sites. As regards
webpage counts, it should be interest to see how they cope with
automatically generated spam pages and duplicate content.
