Search startups DuckDuckGo and Neeva had a tough time competing with Google, court filing shows

Google's court filing in its ongoing case with the US Department of Justice has shed some light on the competition in the search market. The filing reveals details about search engine start-ups like DuckDuckGo and Neeva. DuckDuckGo, known for its privacy features, has been profitable since 2014 but hasn't focused on search innovation, according to the filing. Neeva, founded by former Googlers, aimed to offer an ad-free alternative to Google but struggled to attract paying customers and ultimately shut down its consumer business. The filing also mentions Yahoo's exit from the search market in 2009 and Google's competition with specialized search apps, AI tools, and social media platforms.
