The last search engine that Anna Patterson developed in 2004 was so impressive that Google Inc. had to purchase that technology to upgrade its system.
Now she has developed another and believes that her new invention is even better and more valuable than the previous one but this time not for sale.
Patterson quitted Google in 2006 and started to develop a new more comprehensive way to search the Internet.
The results are quite cool as the new search engine will start processing requests from Monday with a $33 million venture capital support.
A low profile had been kept by Cuil as Patterson, her husband and two fromer Google engineers wanted to have even better ways for search.
Now, it’s time to boast.
More 120 billion Web pages are spanned with Cuil’s search index for starters.
Patterson is of the view that it’s almost three times the size of Google’s index but still there isn’t any way to make it certain. Three years back when Google’s catalog spanned 8.2 billion web pages, it stopped quantifying its index’s breadth publicly.
The formula, which has been developed to cover up a wider swath of the Internet with fewer computers than Google, wouldn’t be revealed by Cuil.
Google claimed on its blog on Friday after getting inquires about Cuil that more than I trillion unique Web links are scanned through Google regularly but Google is not willing to index them because they point to similar content or may diminish the quality of search results the other way. The size of Google’s index hasn’t been quantified in the posting.
