They <a href="http://www.cuil.com/info/faqs/#faq4" rel="nofollow">say</a> the name derives from the Irish word "Cuil" but it seems that Cuil actually means <a href="http://www.focal.ie/Search.aspx?term=cuil" rel="nofollow">fly</a>, at least in current usage. Perhaps it should be <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Cuill" rel="nofollow">Cuill</a> or Coll?. I agree with you, Clusty can be very useful at times.

Not sure how to pronounce the name either, and it would not read too well in Italian either! I sometimes use Clusty, which I still think is useful. Hope you are having a kewl summer, Alex Hi Sean – I found Cuil the other day, but was not overly impressed, and I see you are not either.
