Ad-free Search on Neeva with Darin Fisher

Historically, search engines made money by showing sponsored ads alongside organic results. As the idiom goes, if you’re not paying for something, you are the product. Neeva is a new take on search engines. When you search at neeva.com, you get the type of result you’d expect from a search engine minus any advertising. In this episode, I speak with Darin Fisher, Software Engineer at Neeva. We discuss the motivation, implementation, and mobile experience for searching with Neeva.
