Anna Patterson, a former Google employee, launched her new search engine Cuil, pronounced “cool.” Backed by $33 million in venture capital, the search engine plans to begin processing requests for the first time Monday.

Anna Patterson’s last Internet search engine was so impressive that Google bought the technology in 2004 to upgrade its own system.

Anna Patterson believes her latest invention is even more valuable and this time it’s not for sale. She intends to upstage Google, which she quit in 2006 to develop a more comprehensive and efficient way to scour the Internet.

Anna Patterson, husband Tom Costello and two other former Google engineers, Russell Power and Louis Monier (best known as the former chief technology officer of AltaVista), searched for better ways to search.

Cuil claims to be the world’s biggest search engine.

Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft.

According to Cuil’s privacy policy, it does not retain information about its users’ search histories or surfing patterns.
Cuil’s Privacy Policy:

Privacy is a hot topic these days, and we want you to feel totally comfortable using our service, so our privacy policy is very simple: when you search with Cuil, we do not collect any personally identifiable information, period. We have no idea who sends queries: not by name, not by IP address, and not by cookies (more on this later). Your search history is your business, not ours.

Cuil’s search results are shown in 3 columns by default and can be set to 2 columns.

Google welcomed Cuil to the long line of Google challengers which includes swaggering startups like Teoma (whose technology became the backbone of Ask.com), Vivisimo, Snap, Mahalo and, most recently, Powerset, which was acquired by Microsoft Corp. this month.

Mount Everest, which stands at 8848metres, was first conquered by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay at 11:30 am May 29, 1953. The pair were part of a two pair expedition aiming to conquer the peak.

Tom Bourdillon and Charles Evans, the first pair, came to within 100 meters of the summit but had to turn back due to exhaustion. Their work wasn’t in vain though, as their route finding and trail breaking paved the way for Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.

Tenzing Norgay revealed that Edmund Hillary was the first to actually put his foot on the summit.
