Yeah, I thought so (that it was internally developed), because someone commented that it's not open sourced.
I was just posting to say Microsoft have (had?) a perfectly nice search engine many years ago. Either GitHub folks didn't want to use it, it's not good (I think it was good, but maybe it's not suitable, or maybe it isn't maintained anymore shrug) or Microsoft butchered it too much over the years.
