They use Bing Ads, but I’m not sure if their actual search results are just proxied Bing results.

I think nowadays they mix in some results from other search engines, but it started out as just Bing results. Doesn't change the point about it being just a proprietary interface to other proprietary search engines.

They are not exclusively Bing, but mostly. I think Wikipedia has the details.
They seem to even let you turn ads off in the settings.
