Sure, new search engine Cuil serches "121,617,892,992 web pages". I believe it... maybe.

However, I tried a simple test. My name. I know more or less where it appears:

* My blog

* My linkedin pages

* Several FLOSS hosting sites

* A bazillion mailing list archives

On google this search gives the expected results:

.. raw:: html

   <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ralsina/2709515359/" title="search2 by ralsina_2000, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3161/2709515359_3986db3afa_o.png" width="802" height="539" alt="search2"></a>

On Cuil? Not so much:

.. raw:: html

   <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ralsina/2710329416/" title="search1 by ralsina_2000, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3239/2710329416_01990bfc41_o.png" width="651" height="278" alt="search1"></a>

In other words, I managed to be skipped by Cuil completely. All traces of my last 12 years on the Internet? Not seen. That kinda makes me not too confident ;-)
