The All the Web search engine might have gotten bought by Overture, but apparently that hasn't stopped them from continuing to crank out the syntaxy goodness.

The first thing they're offering is a bookmarklet. A bookmarklet, in case you didn't know, is a little bit of JavaScript code that you can set as a bookmark. The difference between a bookmarklet and a regular bookmark is that a bookmark just opens up a page, while a bookmarklet does something -- in this case, it performs an "URL investigator" search on whatever page you're looking at.

For example. Grab the bookmarklet and add it to your regular bookmarks (You can get it for Netscape, IE, or Opera at http://www.alltheweb.com/info/news/2003.html ) and then go to http://www.newsisfree.com . Click on the bookmarklet. A new window opens up with an AlltheWeb page of information about NewsisFree.com, including the number of pages in AlltheWeb's index from this domain, the number of pages that link to it, and the number of pages that contain the term. This is handy when you quickly need information about a domain or about the scope of a Web site. (Remember, this bookmarklet only covers *domains*, not sub-domains.)

The second thing AlltheWeb offers is a new syntax: convert. Convert will do a query-box conversion between measurements. Type in, without quotes, "Convert: 3 ounces" and AlltheWeb will serve up a page of metric and imperial conversions for three ounces.
