Tweaking the image algorithm J.D. Chen, software engineer

Apr 15, 05:31 PM

When you see the right image, you know it instantly. And if it’s not quite right, you know it right away, too. We’ve gotten lots of feedback on our image work since launch and we really appreciate the input and ideas. We’ve looked, listened and learned, and have made some changes. Today we are rolling out some more changes to our image algorithm that address some of these issues. We hope to find more photos and less title bars, for example. And we have to be able to find more good images from the results themselves.

Please let us know what you think. We still have more work to do. Hard problems don’t get solved all at once.

Happy searching.

    The tweaking of the image algorithm is a tremendous change!

    Great stuff, I tell everyone how much better this search engine is over “Google”

    @ Cuil Owner/admin

    I remember when G was beta back in 90’s, and you brought the same spirit here @ cuil. When G turned to the dark side I abandoned it, well, except for the gmail lol. I hope you guys all the best and I kinda hoping for IPO announcements. LOL. Cuil will be the home page of my browser.

    How come you guys dont provide maps like Google does?. Maybe I am misunderstanding the way this search engine does….

    Thanks,

    Luis

    @Luis – Cuil does provide maps for certain searches. Take a look at this post for more info.
