Per default it uses Brave's index, Mojeek's index and Google's Index via Serper. You can switch off whatever index you do not want. It also respects quotes and +/- in searches. There are no sponsored search results. You can open pages using their anonymous proxy when clicking "Open Anonymously". This is a Screenshot of a search using Brave and Google's Index.
Oh, i thought they had their own index, then i guess that a local SearXNG instance with a proxy will do...
They don't have their own index, but they implement a whole lot of other indexes (Scopia, Yahoo, Bing, Wikis, YaCy, Netluchs, Exalead, Yandex, Die ZEIT, OneNewspage, Infotiger). The 3 big indexes are the ones that charge metager for providing search results, and those costs are what you pay for, and since it's a non-profit (https://suma-ev.de/), the costs are close to what you would pay if you had access to API pricing.
