Hidden deep or invisible web

The hidden or deep web are portals, databases, directories, clearinghouses and gateways that are not available via regular search engines. Most of the Web is not searchable. If you add gateway, portal, directory, or clearinghouse at the end of your search you will be using the deep web.

Also search engines such as; Academic Info, Infomine, and Librarians Index to the Internet will also provide you with capabilities to search the hidden web. These searches are longer and require 5-10 minutes of processing time. Be prepared to wait.
