"See results for '<my search term>' Create your free Neeva account."

"To continue searching and access all of Neeva's features, create your free account. Already a Neeva member? Sign in"

Yeah, no.

I get that.

But essentially we all have de facto accounts on Google anyway.

They track and monitor usage and then map you to a user account when you finally login somewhere.

I'm totally fine with that being upfront and made clear from the get go!

Ah, Neeva is eventually going to be a paid product, that's why it's that way. That said, their membership is pretty cheap for what you get.

I don't mind giving my email or making an account after I have any inkling that the product might be worth deleting a few spam emails. Neeva was giving me a modal popup in my first minute; that's never going to get my email.

(Founder of Neeva here) Appreciate the input and hear your frustration. This is a carryover from changes we made to introduce the free tier earlier in the quarter. We are making imminent improvements on modal frequency and getting them out of your way. Stay posted.

Yo! Neeva is a dope product, imo, but could I offer some suggestions on how I use Neeva?

1. I have more than one GitHub account (one is for work, one is for personal stuff). I would like to somehow keep them separate, but at least being able to add multiple GitHub accounts for indexing would be cool.

2. Could Neeva offer something for segmenting the parts of my online presence? For instance, there's personal me and then there's work me. I'd like to turn a different profile on when I'm doing different things.

3. I don't know if it's possible to partner with ProtonMail, but I'd love to index that and my Proton Calendar as well.

Also didn't know the free tier is permanent, but I think that's probably a good move. Thanks for what you do!

Hi! Thanks for your notes here. I'll take these suggestions back to our team. re: 2. Being able to connect two accounts is interesting -- right now I solve this by having two Neeva accounts, one associated with my work email and one with my personal email.

Neeva has a free tier (with only access to the search engine, so people can still test the search aspect), but when you pay for it now you ALSO get LastPass premium and Bitdefender VPN Premium as well, along with all their integrations into your system.

If you trust these people are doing what they say, it's a pretty good deal for securing your internet spaces and trying to get away from google, imo.

I experimented with neeva, because I'd really like an alternative to Google, even a paid one. However, I found its results pretty disappointing. At least for my work, I had to go back to Google, because I don't want to waste time "on the clock."

DuckDuckGo has been good enough for my day-to-day use. I’ll use Google for a few things.
