一家硅谷创业公司推出了自称互联网最大的搜索引擎，其索引页面数量比谷歌大3倍。

Cuil公司表示，还开发出了一项技术，使索引所需的存储空间的处理能力，只是谷歌庞大的“服务器农场”所使用的一小部分。Cuil发音为“酷”，源自于盖尔语，意为“知识”。

Cuil公司创始人包括一对夫妻组合：汤姆·卡斯特罗(Tom Costello)和安娜·帕特森(Anna Patterson)，分别担任首席执行官和总裁。

帕特森曾在谷歌担任大型搜索目录TeraGoogle的架构师，并负责一个网站排名小组。卡斯特罗帮助IBM构建了新型搜索引擎WebFountain。第三位创始人罗素·帕沃尔(Russell Power)曾负责谷歌TeraGoogle服务器的开发。
