Are you aware of the invisible web that search engines can’t search?
The deep Web (also called Deepnet, the invisible Web, dark Web or the hidden Web) refers to World Wide Web content that is not part of the surface Web, which is indexed by standard search engines like Google and Bing.
If you think Google, a general search engine, provides the mother load of information, you haven’t seen anything yet. Below you will find ways to mine the wealth of content not searchable by standard search engines.
CompletePlanet provides the front door to hundreds of thousands of Deep Web databases on the Web for topical searches.
DeepPeep enters the Invisible Web through forms covering auto, airfare, biology, book, hotel, job, and rental.
