Cuil
I just tried Cuil for the first time and I have to admit I'm left wanting. A common search for me is "wiki <something>". I do this mainly because Wikipedia's own search engine isn't serviceable. However, running a similar search through Cuil netted me nada. Not only did it fail to find me what I wanted, but it also failed to do so in a timely manner. The search is sloooooooow. Which I suspect might have something to do with it Cuil showing up on Google News today (and hence may be experiencing some rather large traffic). Even still, it looks like the engine is pulling down images from the websites is finds to display next to their links and summaries (which takes time and can result in the page simply not ever finishing to load). Which leaves me with the interface. I do _not_ want 3 columns that I have to scroll. Now if they had given me, say, the option to shrink the summaries, eliminate the pictures, make everything fit on a single screen without scrolling, and shortcut keys for switching to the next page... well then maybe. As it stands, I'd say its pretty much unusable.
