I tried finding information on what indexer they are using. Are they using their own?

Edit: says this in the readme:

The commoncrawl organization for crawling the web and making the dataset readily available. Even though we have our own crawler now, commoncrawl has been a huge help in the early stages of development.
this looks VERY interesting!
Lol it searches through stack, github, fediverse. Really nice.
