CDN caches static assets. The request still goes to SO servers. Search goes to one of their massive Elastic Search servers.

I’m not saying we should all use SO’s architecture, I am trying to shed light on what’s possible.

YMMV obviously.

Are you an SO dev? I had thought I read about the use of CDNs and/or Varnish or something like that for rendered pages for logged out users? I don't want to correct you on your own architecture if you are!

No, not a dev at SO. I am guessing what would be rather a standard use of CDN (hosting static assets, caching them geographically).

What you're saying is probably right.
