Search and Research
This month we provide some sites that have the lookup features we can use while doing research ◊
First, some old, new, and basic search engines

Cuil
Pronounced 'cool'
Cuil went live in July 2008
and shut down in September 2010.
It featured long entries
with thumbnail pictures.
Not your usual type of search site,
it was worth looking into.
