I can't seem to tell from the website.

But are they depending on results from Google, Bing etc. or are they crawling the web themselves.

Yes, they use other search engines. Check their FAQ for details https://kagi.com/faq#Where-are-your-results-coming-from

Both. They aggregate data from lots of sources, and they have their own index as well. Seems like a winning model, IMHO.

According to their Help page they've their own indexes: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kagi/kagi-vs-competition.html...

Looks like they'll need to update that first table as Neeva are no longer a functioning search engine.
