Maybe that's because it's only supposed to return relevant results. Seems to be working well here.
Does someone have a greasemonkey script to filter out all these stupid Cuil posts yet?
We get it, Cuil sucks.

My #1 result was http://whois.ws/whois-com/ip-address/cuil.com/ . They had some other whois results, too.
I wonder if they realized how many people would read about it on Techcrunch, then search for Techcrunch on it to take it for a spin -- and quickly reworked the algorithm to give a higher weight to URLs.

Doesn't that make sense?
Before the launch, weren't they in stealth? Shouldn't it take time for the index to catch up?

That search worked for me..
no, notice that cuil.com isn't a result.
How pathetic. (you, not cuil). Go and make fun of Facebook instead. It's a fucking MESSAGE BOARD WRITTEN IN PHP. At least Cuil is trying to build something not trivial and useless, facing real competition and going after real money.
As soon as their search results aren't terrible, I'll be rooting for them. But right now it's all sizzle and no beef.
