FIX Looks at WebMasters on Campus



"Cuil" Search Thinks Knowledge Is Cool




New search site launches with big index.

The new search engine, named after an Irish word for knowledge, claims a bigger index and better relevance than competitors makes it a better search solution.
Well, they've got plenty of Wikipedia results in their search.

The online encyclopedia holds a catnip-like appeal for new search engines; witness how Microsoft's recently-purchased Powerset managed to turn this into a quick flip for millions.


The debut of Cuil (pronounced 'cool' they say)

comes with a boast of an index triple the size of Google's,

at more than 120 billion pages.

Size doesn't really matter in search as much as it used to,

as people want a relevant result from two or three words of a query.
When it can hit Wikipedia, Cuil does fine.

A quick search for Robert Johnson brought up several results

for the legendary blues guitarist,

returning those results in a three-column page.

The page includes a box with "Explore by Category" options, where a searcher can look at related queries. In the case of our soul-selling bluesman, those include people like Son House and Blind Willie Johnson.
Clicking on them found Cuil a little too hot to handle. "Due to overwhelming interest, our Cuil servers are running a bit hot right now. The search engine is momentarily unavailable as we add more capacity," said the message that returned instead of results.
Danny Sullivan said the site runs off two datacenters, with a thousand 8-CPU servers apparently handling the index, and another 280 delivering results. At press time, it wasn't enough to handle the buzz from coverage at places like TechCrunch and GigaOm.
Webmasters who want Cuil to tap their pages should be seeing a crawler called Twiceler hitting their sites. Sounds like someone at Cuil might be a fan of Dr. Seuss' 'The Lorax', which featured an environment-trashing executive called Onceler as its antagonist.
The real test for Cuil when it comes back will be how well it handles the niche queries people make all the time, expecting a solid result from very few words. That's how Google built its dominance in search; people assume search works this way, and they will be happy with Cuil if it does.

Instructor Led Classroom Training RecStay classes are more then just dynamic, engaging and incorporate practical examples demonstrating how the techniques the trainee is learning can be implemented into their work immediately. Course material covers the range from beginner to advanced. Class length is 6-7 hours, depending on the subject and level. At the end of the day the trainee has been introduced to a good number of concepts and tools and has had the opportunity to practice them during the class. The instructor for all classes, has experience as a trainer. He has trained in a wide variety of settings, from high-tech training rooms to the factory floor. He has rolled out software to large companies, projects spanning several years, as well as smaller firms and shorter engagements. His training style is such that he engages the trainee right from the beginning and keeps the pace lively during the entire class. He takes "what if" questions as they come and goes "off book" if the need arises, modifying the material to fit the classes' needs. Along with group classes, one on one training is available. For a complete listing of course descriptions contact Fernando IX for additional information along with a fee schedule. Customized Training We will take a course and modify it to cover the topics and type of data particular to your business or current needs.
