They both use Spotlight, which is evidenced by the fact that Spotlight

are similar or the same when the same queries are used. It's simple
deduction on that point, but it's also well known in the Apple developer
and user communities that Finder uses Spotlight for searches:

It seems silly that anyone would argue about this.
