[Web4lib] CUIL doesn't seem very COOL

[Pedro A Del Valle Lopez]

Hi!

I got the address for Cuil (http://www.cuil.com/) and made some searches
on cancer topics and found good information.

Are there other people who have used this search engine and found got
great health websites?  What is your opinion about this?
 
Cordially yours,

Ha. I did a search for "cuil" and didn't get their site.

A seach for "google" on Google delivers exactly what I would expect.
