This is super interesting. From Leta FAQ[0]:

Did you make your own search engine from scratch?

We did not, we made a front end to the Google Search API.

Our search engine performs the searches on behalf of our users. This means that rather than using Google Search directly, our Leta server makes the requests.

Searching by proxy in other words.
