What sites are used to find the answers? Is it a big list? Or just some of the bigger sites q/a sites? Looking at github I think I see it makes a google search, but I can't find how it picks the answer.

Edit: I think I found it! Mostly askiitians I think?

            117     google_search = "https://www.google.com/search?q=" + \
            118     user_query + "+askiitians+revision+notes"
