Allinanchor will rank you according to your anchor popularity only.
Allintext does the same thing but for the content text.

I think google removed them from that page.

Precisely... so your guess is as good as any other dude I think... lol
My guess would be it's the content text and links anchor include in it.

My guess:
allinanchor: returns pages with the search terms in the anchor text of backlinks.
allintext: returns pages with the search terms contained within the page content.
Try it out with miserable failure.

One strange thing - you would expect allintext to return pretty much the same as the standard search in most cases - but it doesn't. It seems to put more weight on on-page factors so results are much more like Yahoo. So you would expect decent rankings for allinanchor and allintext to give you decent rankings for the standard results? Worked last year. Not the case necessarily now.
