Pronounced “cool” its headed up by some former google people and is dubbed the “biggest” search engine. Its been in the news a bit lately, but I’m not seeing a whole lot of positive reaction. I can see why.

Though its an interesting idea - content-based search - its not very well implemented. Results are often way off, especially for multi-word searches, and the thumbnails are often completely irrelevant. Search for ‘senocular’ the thumbnail next to [senocular.com](http://senocular.com) : Fireworks Tutorials is an AEROTEK logo. I didn’t even know who aerotek were until I googled them.

I think these guys have a way to go.
