When you perform a search using any of the five major search options (Web pages, Pictures, Videos, MP3 files, or FTP files), a sidebar shows helpful results in other categories.  Users can also now limit their searches in a variety of ways directly from the search box, which offers a handy pull-down menu to limit by language. The help page explains the various search options, including searching for words in the title or domain name, searching pages on a specific site, searching for pages with a link to a specific site, and more. AllTheWeb is a favorite workhorse search engine because it's big and fast.
