- Does Tailcat use its own index, or an existent one?<p>Edit: it seems like Tailcat is using Google for some of its queries. I was able to find an IP 66.249.66.144 [0] in the results, which is associated with a legit[1] Googlebot. However, searching for &quot;parler&quot; still returned Parler.com, which has been banned from Google search results (which they have the right to do).<p>- Who is behind this?<p>- Where is the privacy policy?<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ipinfo.io&#x2F;66.249.66.144" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ipinfo.io&#x2F;66.249.66.144</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developers.google.com&#x2F;search&#x2F;docs&#x2F;advanced&#x2F;crawling&#x2F;verifying-googlebot" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developers.google.com&#x2F;search&#x2F;docs&#x2F;advanced&#x2F;crawling&#x2F;...</a>

This looks like Google and DDG (Bing) results put into one search engine. Can&#x27;t find an about page, privacy policy, Codebase (GitHub&#x2F;Lab), or any other real&#x2F;useful information.
