Searching the Deep Web
The phenomenon of the "invisible Web" or "deep Web" is not new, yet information remains hidden from search engine crawlers. Alex Wright discusses recent attempts to capture this data in Exploring a 'Deep Web' That Google Can't Grasp.
I work with a company called Deep Web Technologies- we have done deep web searching for years using a tool called Federated Search. Sites such as Science.gov, Scitopia.org and Biznar.com search deep web sources in real-time (not indexed) so users get fresh information with no index lag.
