Wolfram Alpha certainly uses Reduce (or Solve) to solve non-algebraic equations, e.g. try
WolframAlpha["Solve[x Exp[x] == 2 Sin[x]&&Abs[x]<=10,x]"] in Mathematica (or directly in a browser).
It will show real roots only but if you ask for more you also get the complex ones. If you do not give a bounding condition it will choose one by itself
WolframAlpha["Solve[x Exp[x] == 2 Sin[x],x]"]
and asssume that you want only real roots. I don't see any evidence that it "is using FindRoot in clever ways".
