AlltheWeb's Search Engine Offers New Options

I always like to see competition in the search engine world. If Google's bothering to look back over their shoulders for anybody, it better be AlltheWeb.

AlltheWeb continues to offer fun search options and some cool tech. Check out their new advanced search options at http://www.alltheweb.com/advanc ed . You can now specify that a returned result page should or should not contain a variety of content types, including images, audio, video, Real content, Flash, Java applets, JavaScript, and VBScript.

And check out the further restrictions section. You can restrict results by date updated, document size, and DEPTH! What is depth? Depth is how many subdirectories AlltheWeb will go down searching for results. For example, using AlltheWeb you can do a search and specify that your search results come only from the top level. So a search might pull results from www.cnn.com, but not www.cnn.com/technology/ .

You can also specify that you search results be *below* the top level, meaning that results would not come from www.cnn.com, but might come from www.cnn.com/technology/ . The AlltheWeb interface allows you to specify that results must be above, below, or exactly as many as ten levels deep. You can also click a checkbox that specifies result pages must be personal (that is, have a tilde, a ~, in the URL.)
