A new Search Engine in competition to Google was launched on last monday named cuil by former Google engineers couples and recently yahoo has introduced Yuil.

Yuil is a mashup of Yahoo! search results presented using the new Cuil look and feel, and running on Google’s App Engine,” as Tyler Hall tells us.

Yuil is actually the product of Yahoo VP of Platforms, Sam Pullara, who is using the site to show off Yahoo’s recently-released BOSS API.
