In a few European languages its name can quite easily be misinterpreted to mean "arse"! This service has one huge drawback working against it…the name!

I tried some searches using my own (fairly unique) combination of first name and surname along with the ProReviewer site name and some of the posts. The results were disapointing (see http://proreviewer.com/2008/07/30/cuil-search-engine-maybe-not-so-cool-yet/) You have to admire some clever marketing of a the product.

So far, I can only say I'm fairly disappointed after using this search engine for a while. The results aren't as comprehensive as Google's and I too think there's room for interface improvements.
