I take that as a "it didn't work" LOL So your sample search is actually a pretty good example of how horrible Cuil is in both its design and implementation; here is the result page screenshot: <a href='http://cubelogic.org/act/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/cuil-pesto-search.png' title='cuil pesto search result' rel="nofollow"><img src='http://cubelogic.org/act/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/cuil-pesto-search.thumbnail.png' alt='cuil pesto search result' /></a> Note the cluttered UI, the irrelevant images, and above all the incorrect results: even ignoring the amusing "TopList" in the very center (ROTFL!) only one result actually leads to a pesto recipe (albeit with cilantro, an herb never used in Italian cooking :D). All the others are totally useless results, including at least 3 pages which didn't even contain the word "pesto", and 2 links to spam pages!! How can they release this SHIT?!?! given the fact that you hate cilantro… I take that as a “it didn’t work” LOL
