If I remember correctly, Yahoo Open Source their current and next generation Search Engine Vespa [1], why wasn't that used, and instead starting from scratch?

Vespa is a very interesting project. But, it came quite late for us (Sept. 2017 [1]).

Work on Cliqz Search started way earlier ~2013. Our work on Kubernetes and modernizing our architecture was also started around year 2016.
