There was a time when search engines were a thing, and it seems they still are

Yea it's explicitly separated, just not shown at the same time. For example, if you search for "kings", there will be a couple of bubbles at the top of the page with different entities: "Kings" (2017 film), "Sacramento Kings" (baseball team), etc. Clicking on one of those will show you a list of results that only pertains to that entity. This feature has been around for years, and is part of the series of "things, not strings" features they've been working on.

As I said, Google is pretty conservative about this and other entity-based features, so they definitely wouldn't do it got something like "lkw attachment". My question was whether Izik triggered this feature in such cases or not.

That Google feature is like "related queries", that kind of feature has been around for more than a decade. If you click on the "Kings (2017 Film)" link it runs a search for [Kings 2017]... which just adds 2017 as a keyword to a conventional search. No semantic search is involved.

Izik would show you film-related website results for the film category.
