Scroll down to the RDT entry: http://www.cuil.com/search?q=ruby

You're getting there Cuil... but not quite there yet. Not... quite... there.

:O I don't get how such a thing could have happened -- maybe a key collision or something??

Cuil-bomb, perhaps? People exploiting however Cuil does the rankings to make mismatches intentionally.

interesting... but results aren't so great relevancy wise and pictures don't go with the results they are linking to. (search postgres and postgresql. separately)

Why are they still in business ?

Inertia. It takes a lot to stop a business once it's achieved a certain size. They have enough money not to go bankrupt, and I guess their VCs haven't decided to pull the plug yet.

It's a ridiculous layout IMHO, Seems to be a fixed width thing, which results in vast expanses of white unused space to the right of the results.

I knew you were going to say that!...

You have to admit it makes slightly less sense than google results layout :)

why would someone use Cuil? I mean, besides hating google (and yahoo and microsoft and all the other search engines out there)...?

Please fix irrelevant results. Search for 'rfid tutorial' gives a Java JDBC page at the top.

Also, layout is not a differentiation so please stick to google style and stop wasting time on it.

I really liked Cuil's old layout, and I like the new one even more. But the poor relevancy of search results prevents me from using them.
