Metacrawler's subheadings: where did they go?

A few years ago I remember using Metacrawler and marvelling at how
wonderful it was when I would input a very common word and it would
bring up 4 to 8 subheadings to search under. It was great for zeroing
in on your information needed. Are there any search engines today that
still to that? Example: you input water. Subheadings might be:
purified water, sea water, water sports, etc. All of these are totally
unrelated so if you don't get rid of them in your searching the results
will be bogged down with useless results. Suggestions?

sort of, google does it.

water -purified -sea -sports

That will filter out many of the ones you don't want.

Do you mean the clustered search engines such as boogie and clusty?
