Did not know Hotbot was offering "advanced search" for several search engines (Fast, Google, Inkotmi, Teoma).

However, Hotbot shows advanced features for Google, that Google simply does not offer.

Overall, I have never seen advanced search options as refined as Alltheweb does.

If this is true:

[searchengineshowdown.com...]

than it should be a pity that Google does not further develop it's advanced search, after all it's the geeks that spread-word-of-mouth what search engines are best...

Hotbot is defaulting on Inktomi searches, however, You can find the date that any WebSite was last spidered or cached at the very end of it's listing for a given search result
for:
Fast
Google
Inktomi
but NOT for Teoma
