For example looking for a site I care about, (and know what queries people run to find it) I ran bed and breakfast cranbrook kent through Cuil. No results. (The same search on google returns 11 000 results) I trimmed this down to bed and breakfast, lots of US results, and some weird category choices in the category selection. (Three town in Dorset, Provinces and Territories of Canada) But no way of getting to the location I want. I may be missing something but for me Cuil is very much more Crap than Cool.

Why did the BBC give them an article on their technology page? It's rubbish! Let's stop buying their PR bull-jobby. Why are we talking about it?
