I was just getting interested in Neeva as a paid search engine with some cool AI tools where you're not an advertising target because you pay. This explains the sudden refund from Neeva - they apparently got bought out and are no longer being a search engine. I don't really know what to make of it all.

I suppose it makes my decision between it and Kagi easier - I don't really have a choice. Kagi is a lot more expensive, but I get work to pay for it. Though that does make it harder to potentially recommend to other people I know.

Not that I ever thought paid search would massively take off, but unlike many tasks, search can be centralized enough on a per user basis that something other than ads is worth exploring.

Another Kagi subscriber here. I do it mainly to support the little guy rather than some big tech giant like Google or Microsoft, but I’m quite enjoying the new features they’ve been adding over time.

Yeah exactly. I hope they’re trustworthy and real and not just really data mining on the backend anyway, kind of a leap of faith involved here for me with them.
