I checked the Reddit post, the FAQ and the IndexTank website, and there was no mention of the underlying technology implementation. It says that it uses a subset of Lucene, but no further details.

Is this basically hosted Solr with some tweaks for speed and features?

No, the old search was Solr based, this one uses only the lucene index file structure. Not even the scorer is lucene-based.
