Louis Monier , Cuill's VP Product, quietly resigned from the newly launched search engine last week, we've heard from a reliable source. This is a big blow to the troubled search engine - Monier was recruited away from Google a year ago, where he was working on advanced search products. Prior to Google he was the head of search at eBay and was the cofounder and CTO of AltaVista. He is widely considered to be the father of Internet search.
