Drilldown and Roll-over definitions: two exciting features of Cuil

July 31, 2008

The following are the exciting features of the all-new Cuil search engine.

After you perform a web-based search, you may note a panel on the right-hand side that states “Explore by Category” along with a list of subjects that are related to your search.

If you roll-over a category, it will open by default and show up refinements that are related to your search. If you click on any, Cuil will automatically direct you to this additional data.

You may discover search data, concepts, or other related areas of interest that you had not expected or thought of by looking at these suggestions. This is useful particularly when you are researching a topic you do not know much about and are not very sure as how to compose the ‘right’ query to get the information you need.

Roll-over definitions is another catchy feature. When you happen to pause on a subject suggested by ‘Explore by Category,’ a definition of that term might appear. This provides you additional data to help you in deciding whether or not to click on that particular term and so save you some effort and time.
