If this is as accurate as Google was ~2008 but without the ads, I will have to seriously consider paying for the service.

Mostly because my time is valuable and I support the alignment of user interests with product interests

I gave it a try a while ago and it looked like their search results come from bing like duckduckgo.

I'm not sure about that but they do have their own crawler so they're at least trying not to rely on Bing (if they do at all).

Last year when they announced they said they were using Bing: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/19/technology/google-neeva-e...

Also from last year: "rather than try to build a search infrastructure from scratch, Neeva instead opted to use Bing's search API for its basic result"[0]. I thought that was a huge missed opportunity because you could build a pretty good search index of your own from scratch with $77.5M[1] in funding. But it wasn't clear if that was their plan for the long term.
