You are totally right. We kind of simplified the Perplexity workflow in the post for easier understanding. We will definitely be mindful about the accuracy in our future posts.

Google and Bing have been crawling the web for decades. Perplexity crawler is just for marketing purposes, there's no way they even have 1% of Google's index. So yeah, in reality they just query Bing API.
