Cuil was managed and developed largely by former employees of Google, Anna Patterson and Russell Power. The CEO, co-founder, and Patterson's husband, Tom Costello, had worked for IBM and others. Cuil's privacy policy, unlike that of other search engines, said it did not store users' search activity or IP addresses.
