Asia...and Europe? I'm pretty sure that for example Seznam.cz still has its own indexing (https://blog.seznam.cz/en/history-of-web-search/ https://blog.seznam.cz/en/history-of-web-search/). At the very least there used to be several more indexers as well. A version of one them is even accessible as source code: https://www.ucw.cz/holmes/ https://www.ucw.cz/holmes/
