Cuil, which is the latest search-engine Google killer can’t find itself. Cuil claims to have a bigger index than Google, where many of Cuil’s engineers previously worked. 
So why can’t Cuil find itself? A Cuil search for “Cuil” doesn’t find Cuil.
My recommendations to Cuil:

Focus on reinventing search technology and not the user interface for search results
Pick a name that is easy to pronounce and read
Don’t fix what isn’t broken
