- Does Tailcat use its own index, or an existent one?
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 "parler" still returned Parler.com, which has been banned from Google search results (which they have the right to do).

This looks like Google and DDG (Bing) results put into one search engine. Can't find an about page, privacy policy, Codebase (GitHub/Lab), or any other real/useful information.
