Invisible Web

The Invisible Web is made up of thousands of databases and searchable sources that contain highly targeted and valuable information, and whose content is not seen (indexed) by traditional search engines. Examples:

  • News archives
  • Specialized search engines
  • Proprietary information such as e-journals and scientific databases
  • Free resources that require login before use
  • Interactive tools (such as calculators and dictionaries) and web pages whose URLs are created dynamically

Here are several resources that provide information and access to some of the "Invisible Web":

InvisibleWeb.com - the search of search engines (http://www.invisibleweb.com/)
A directory of over 10,000 databases, archives, and search engines that contain information that traditional search engines have been unable to access
Direct search (http://www.freepint.com/gary/direct.htm)
Web search tools and directories featuring Invisible Web Resources
Invisible Web Gateways and Directories (http://websearch.about.com/cs/invisibleweb/)
