I am actually a web developer and haven't ever heard of it myself! I am definitlely goingto check out that deep web search engine though that sounds very elite. Thanks for sharing! I have much more exploration to do!

May be deep web, but that search engine you posted SUCKS!!!!!!!!! I am SO dissapointed

Just something I noticed that is kinda funny. The deepweb site has Google adsense going down the side. Kinda ironic huh?

I never used it before. Dont even know what to use it for. I wish I had kept that article, damn it.

I remember the article saying that "deep web" engines apparently have acess to databases, and that normal search engines, such as google only have access to the "surface web".

As I said...its all new to me too. I´m looking for answers.

Hi

The deep web or invisible web as it is called is actually all the information held on databases which search engines cannot access directly. So to access the info you need gues what, software. I use Copernic excellent and useful, as to your other points the military used the internet then we got access why? The military have newer technology which will be handed down in due course like older sibling clothes. Google this and you may be suprised. SIPRNET is a start.

50 years well heres hoping we are still here, if so then the current net will be like black and white tv compared to HD and blue ray. Holographic interfaces and Virtual world similar to matrix, johny mnemonic type special effects will be common place.

Anyway hope this helps.

internet2 is a new network that links (for the most part) universities. it's extremely fast. we have a net2 connection where i work and i can pull stuff from other universities at several mb/s.

Why doesn't someone contact Al Gore about internet 2 and the deep web, surely he's in on the development of it....


I googled Internet2, the article I was reading stated it was bigger and faster, well if we're using the same computers and the information is accessed by the same connetions, how would it be faster ?

Well I will explain a little.

The informatiion held on a library catalogue can be accessed online.
That information (the records) however cannot be googled, google can find the catalogue search engine but not the records held on the catalogue. This is the same for all database websites - so if certain information is stored in a database online you can search for it using the search interface for the database.

I cannot for one minute think that anything secret would be accessible from the net, that would be very negligent of the organisation. However if you could crack or get access to other networks you may find something bearing in mind in would be a crime and one guy (UK citizen) is facing 70 years in jail for doing just this, so it is a risk.

Alright. Questions answered. Thread completed.

Thanks Munro_DreadGod.

Good thread.

Some of the stuff that isn't initially available via ordinary Google searches can be found if you use better search terms. Most people know how to look in unprotected directories using "/index of" in the search box.

Google also isn't very good at searching ftp sites, but there are other engines that are specifically designed to do that. One of the better ones no longer exists, that I'm aware.

Back in the early 90s there was a competition held periodically in which a very obscure fact was sought and the 'Net wizards would search for it and try to find it with the least possible branches. (forget the name).

Anyway, yeah, I'm surprised if it's listed as 2%.

i just tried an "/index of" in a google search and compared it to a search on the same topic without putting in the "/index of" and i was amazed, i had no idea! thank you VERY much for sharing this with me. if you have any other tips along the lines of that one i would love to see a post on them. again thanks for teaching! salutations.
