Image Size Filtering: Allows you to quickly filter by a certain image size using a little check box system on the right sidebar.

Icon Category Filtering: Common tags are displayed on the right. So lets say you search for social networking icons and then want to drill down to just the Facebook or Twitter icons. You would simply need to put a check box in either the twitter or Facebook box on the right and it would filter out all unwanted icons.
