invisible web, hidden web, and deep web all refer to the same thing: a massive storehouse of online data that the search engines don't capture. That's because terabytes of information are buried in databases and other research resources. Searchable and accessible online but often ignored by conventional search engines, these resources exist by the thousands. Known in research circles as the invisible, deep, or hidden Web, this buried content is an estimated 500 times larger than the surface Web, which is estimated at over four billion pages. This mass of information represents a potent research resource, no matter what your discipline or interest. Below are some tools to help you mine it.

Metasearch engines operate on the premise that the Web is too large for any one search engine to index it all and that more comprehensive search results can be obtained by combining the results from several search engines. This also may save the user from having to use multiple search engines separately.
