They use multiple OCR engines. Some developed in-house and some proprietary ones. A blog post mentions I.R.I.S. as one of the proprietary ones.
They don't offer OCR publicly, instead, they generate a list of possible candidates to match against search queries (fuzzy matching).
From one of the blog posts: "Employing multiple reco engines is important not only because they specialize on different types of text and languages, but also as this allows to implement ‘voting’ mechanism — analyzing word alternatives created by diverse engines for the same word allows for better suppression of false recognitions and giving more confidence to consensus variants."
