Well, Google is effectively an amazingly powerful data gatherer and indexing tool – check out this article on how Google can be used to check for previously indexed MD5 hashes:

I thought I’d put Cuil to the test, to see whether they can offer the same “service”….given their bold claims about their number of indexed pages

Step 1 – think of a password – for the sake of this test I’ll choose the weak password, gringo

Step 2 – hash the password (if you’re lazy, like me, this can be done here)

Step 3 – Google it!

Step 4 – Cuil it!
