Does AlltheWeb support any Query Prefixes?
AlltheWeb supports a number of simple Query Prefixes that allow you to access some basic site functions by simply prefixing your query term(s) with a supported prefix. In the example below, prefixing "eminem" with "pics:" will search AlltheWeb's Pictures index for results matching "eminem".
