According to it’s Wikipedia entry, it’s a genuinely separate index.
I did not know that. Damn. It’s a small index, sure (so you might not get very many results for some queries) but they say they do that to avoid spam on it.
That might be a trade-off that is necessary in the future. Such a huge portion of the web has become crap that trying to index the entire web naturally makes the index you build crap, too.
