For example, I had one that asked me to design something similar an e-commerce site, then only wanted to talk about search specific functionality.
Another asked me a more to design a well known product and wanted me to drive it in any direction I wanted to. This gave me a lot of freedom but left a lot of guesswork on giving the signals they were looking for.
It seemed very interviewer dependent.
Just study as you would other company and be prepared to talk through trade offs on architectural decisions you are making throughout the process.
One of mine went all the way down to the read/write bandwidth of disc hard drives; the other was a fairly common web system design. I just went through the materials my recruiter shared, they were helpful and enough.
