Not so Cuil

So I type my name into the world's latest search engine, expecting at least the 1,400 hits that come up when I Google myself (they aren't all me, he added in a bid for modesty).
Nothing. Zilch. Nada.
I feel dissed, oddly.

Heh! I did myself and found all sorts of message board posts I've done over the years before I saw my own website listed. They're obviously not sorting by relevance.
What really bugs me is that they insert photos that have nothing to do with the subject. (Well in once case they put up the Mensa logo for their page.)
They also don't show enough of the context. I'd never think of using that for a quick look-up.

Tried again.
Over 132,000 hits.
That's more like it.

They must have read your complaint here.

Bah. Only 400,000 hits for my name.
It is interesting how they group the hits but I don't find it very useful.
