# New Alternative Search Engine: neeva and neevaAI
Today the new [neevaAI search engine](https://neeva.com) launched on [Product
Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com). This is the [third launch on Product
Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/neevaai) with all new added AI
functionality.
## What is neeva?
Neeva is an alternative search engine focusing on better results. They say about
theirself:
> No Tracking. No Bias.
> Search Free From Corporate Influence.
> Search privately
> --[neeva.com](https://neeva.com)
I've checked their results for:
[qameta](https://neeva.com/search?q=qameta) and it were very similar to
[Bing](https://bing.com). As they say:
> Neeva includes data from Apple, Bing, Yelp and others
> --[neeva.com](https://neeva.com?q=qameta) in Footer
I've checked the second result page and could find also specific content from
[StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com) highlighted on the right side of the
search.
## Does neeva have an own search index?
They seem to have an own search index. As cited on [Neeva Web
Crawler](https://neeva.com/neevabot) page, they do have a Neevabot, which may
crawl pages.
As I think this is a great news, because most of the search engines are built
around Google and Bing search index.
## Do neeva support sitemap submissions?
I've tried to find something, but couldn't find anything about it
## Do neeva have Webmaster Tools like Google or Bing?
I could find a help page for
[Webmasters](https://help.neeva.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403975946003-Webmasters).
As they say, they will build one at some time, but there is currently no page
for this.
User interested should keep an eye on this [Webmaster Help Page by
neeva](https://help.neeva.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403975946003-Webmasters).
## Do they support IndexNow
This was my first suggestion, that they will support
[IndexNow](https://www.indexnow.org) to built up an up to date search index for
their search. But I couldn't find anything about it.
## How can I submit anything to neeva?
I've found a new [help page on
neeva for Webmasters](https://help.neeva.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403975946003-Webmasters),
which say that a user can submit his/her page through emailing them to:
[neevabot@neeva.co](mailto:neevabot@neeva.co).
This is an all new way to submit a page, but I've submitted some pages and will
have a look at the logs for their [neevabot](https://neeva.com/neevabot).
## Have a look at the browser console?
After try their search engine with some keywords, I had a look at the browser
search console and could find some errors regarding loading favicons from their
CDN, which seems to be cached from Google.
## Summary
Having alternative search engines fragmenting the search market and increasing
competition is very important for search engine market and every business
relying on search results to get customers.
It would be great, if [neeva](https://neeva.com) would join [IndexNow](https://www.indexnow.org) or build any other technology to submit content to their search engine and maybe built up a new search index, which does not rely on [Bing](https://bing.com).
