Last I knew, Apple used Bing, but there was talk they were looking into
their own search engine.

I'm not sure if Apple have their own search engine servers, I thought siri
might just submit any search term to the big boys like
google, then filter the responses before sending it you back. Global web
crawling is not really Apple's thing, so a bit of an error
if they have one dedicated for siri's use.
Some of the big names don't even do the crawling for themselves, they submit
the search term to all the other biggest ones and
combine the results. Apple could try that, but how to then filter would then be
an issue.
In short, I don't necessarily know an answer, but am just looking at some of
the related questions or issues.

OK, I understand all this, but I guess my question is a little out there since
you don't seem to understand what I'm asking. Or
nobody else knows what I'm asking either! I just don't know why Siri's
performance is so miserable at times when asking her to look
something up or find something or answer a question. On the contrary when I
plug something into a search engine I get far better
results. I suppose these are two different systems of gathering information

Whenever you are dictating it's like you are writing the information, except
for any potential mistakes SIRI will put exactly what
you say. Dictation is also done via SIRI, but it is just voice recognition just
the same as when you dictate a text message. Then
if you dictate a phrase or whatever and you are in the Youtube search box then
of course whatever is found is up to how Youtube
matches what you said.
If you use SIRI and ask "When was Albert Einstein's birthday" or something
similar the answer depends on what sources SIRI has
available and is checking for answers. Here SIRI is not as good as other
virtual assistants such as the one from Google which
seems to come up with useful information more often.

I guess what I was noticing is that when I dictate a query in the search field
in YouTube I can use very natural speech and it
brings me up pretty near exactly what I'm looking for. When I asked Siri a
question what determines whether she'll be able to
answer it or not? What she will find? Why is the performance so much less able
to recognize the nature of the information I am
seeking?

Sorry if I am not understanding the question, but what does Youtube have to do
with SIRI or search engines? Youtube is a site to
share videos, you can upload or consume all sorts of content from the latest
music videos to TV shows, but it is not a general
search engine like Google or Bing.
