No. Qwant always used its own index but it used Bing in addition as their own index wasn’t finished. However, since 2025 it only uses Staan, the index developed in cooperation with Ecosia.
“Last year, French privacy-focused search engine Qwant struck a joint venture with German non-profit search engine Ecosia to develop a European search index. Called European Search Perspective (EUSP), the JV now aims to serve around 50% of French queries and 33% of German queries by the end of the year”
