There is a new version of the AlltheWeb search engine. This has apparently nothing to do with the fact that Overture is to take over AlltheWeb from Fast.

In January AlltheWeb introduced true Boolean searching. This time the changes are more cosmetic. There is a leaner front page with a new color palette. The result pages have been simplified and the banner ads have been removed.

Search engine marketers would probably find the "AlltheWeb URL Investigator" interesting. By entering the Web address (URL) of a site into the search box the results will tell you who owns the domain, what language the site is written in, its sub domains and size, the date it was last updated, and a link to see how the site looked in the past.

AlltheWeb will for instance give the following data for a search for "www.alltheweb.com": Find all 3,204,867 external web pages that link to "www.alltheweb.com"

And no, AlltheWeb has not introduced a cache feature similar to the one at Google. The "used to look" link goes to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.
