Do you have a source for this? I would love to read more about it.

In the doc of the Zoekt repo, it says

> What does cs.bazel.build run on?

> Currently, it runs on a single Google Cloud VM with 16 vCPUs, 60G RAM and an attached physical SSD.

so at least they were using Zoekt up until a certain point in the past.

Oops, I guess that one is small enough to use Zoekt. Note how different the interface is than Android and Chromium's code search.
