Such as only show me houses with a garden tub, or with an island in the kitchen. I'm not having luck, and I thought this would be a rather basic offering on sites, but I'm not finding that to be true. Can anyone help?

Most sites don't get that specific because the more specific the search criteria, the slower the return of the hit list will be. Plus not every MLS has the same searchable fields, which is what these search engines are pulling data from. For instance, the MLS I use does not have a check box for "Island" in the kitchen, so you'd never find any results since that's not a searchable field. Does that make sense?
I'm a realtor and I typically set up the most detailed search I can on behalf of my client, then automatically email her every time something new comes on the market that matches that. If she wants to know whether it has an island I can always find out before I take her to see the house.
If you'd prefer public web sites the ones I recommend are:
realtor.com
ziprealty.com (only in certain areas)
Good luck!
