A cursory and subjective review of the top results for Andrei indicated - to me at least - that cuil's results were more semantically relevant and contextually vectored than either google or yahoo. What first peeked my interest was/is their clustering and semantic relevance algorithms and how they may end up visually displaying these in meaningful ways.
Just as in music, I find American Idol (a popularity contest) vulgar, I find Google's popularity rankings crass and have been looking for something a little more - need I say it - sophisticated. As I said before - Burger King and Google may serve billions, but it's still junk food. But - I am still withholding judgment for at least a few weeks to see how things iron out.
