&lt;p&gt;Here&#039;s another reason not to get your hopes too high when yet another supposed &amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.google.com/news?q=%22google%20killer%22&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;oe=utf-8&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&amp;amp;um=1&amp;amp;sa=N&amp;amp;tab=wn&quot;&gt;Google killer&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; gets some launch buzz. The new search engine started by some former employees of Google can&#039;t handle location-based business searches very well: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/sites/thestandard.com/files/u158/072808_cuil.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Cuil search results&quot; align=&quot;middle&quot; height=&quot;359&quot; width=&quot;575&quot; /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, while &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cuil.com/search?q=firewood+newton+massachusetts&quot;&gt;this search phrase&lt;/a&gt; is unusual, it&#039;s hardly rare and there are no typos. It&#039;s also not enclosed by quotation marks, which should give the Cuil engine some flexibility, even if there is no exact match to be found. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Google handled the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=firewood+newton+massachusetts&amp;amp;ie=utf-8&amp;amp;oe=utf-8&amp;amp;aq=t&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&quot;&gt;same search&lt;/a&gt; better than I expected. There were 27,300 results, with the most useful information right at the top of the first page of results: A list of places that sell firewood in my area, including business URLs, telephone  numbers, and even links to reviews. Here&#039;s a screenshot: &lt;img src=&quot;/sites/thestandard.com/files/u158/072808_google.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Google search results &quot; height=&quot;229&quot; width=&quot;605&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only alternative search engine that I&#039;ve ever liked is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kartoo.com&quot;&gt;Kartoo&lt;/a&gt;, but even it hardly comes close to scratching Google. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sorry, &lt;a href=&quot;http://cuil.com&quot;&gt;Cuil&lt;/a&gt;. No bookmark for you. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here&#039;s another reason not to get your hopes too high when yet another supposed &amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.google.com/news?q=%22google%20killer%22&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;oe=utf-8&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&amp;amp;um=1&amp;amp;sa=N&amp;amp;tab=wn&quot;&gt;Google killer&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; gets some launch buzz. The new search engine started by some former employees of Google can&#039;t handle location-based business searches very well: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/sites/thestandard.com/files/u158/072808_cuil.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Cuil search results&quot; align=&quot;middle&quot; height=&quot;359&quot; width=&quot;575&quot; /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, while &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cuil.com/search?q=firewood+newton+massachusetts&quot;&gt;this search phrase&lt;/a&gt; is unusual, it&#039;s hardly rare and there are no typos. It&#039;s also not enclosed by quotation marks, which should give the Cuil engine some flexibility, even if there is no exact match to be found. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Google handled the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=firewood+newton+massachusetts&amp;amp;ie=utf-8&amp;amp;oe=utf-8&amp;amp;aq=t&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&quot;&gt;same search&lt;/a&gt; better than I expected. There were 27,300 results, with the most useful information right at the top of the first page of results: A list of places that sell firewood in my area, including business URLs, telephone  numbers, and even links to reviews. Here&#039;s a screenshot: &lt;img src=&quot;/sites/thestandard.com/files/u158/072808_google.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Google search results &quot; height=&quot;229&quot; width=&quot;605&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only alternative search engine that I&#039;ve ever liked is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kartoo.com&quot;&gt;Kartoo&lt;/a&gt;, but even it hardly comes close to scratching Google. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sorry, &lt;a href=&quot;http://cuil.com&quot;&gt;Cuil&lt;/a&gt;. No bookmark for you. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;More news, commentary, and predictions from &lt;i&gt;The Industry Standard&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
