WHAT IS DEEP WEB?

The part of the World Wide Web that is not discoverable by means of standard search
engines is referred as Deep Web.

It is also called the Deepnet, Invisible Web or Hidden Web.

Specific access mechanism and authentication procedure as well as a special type of


onion browser to get access.

This includes password-protected or dynamic pages and encrypted networks.

The Deep Web is the majority of online content, estimated to be 400-500 times larger
than the surface web.

History

Jill Ellsworth used the term invisible Web in 1994 to refer to websites that were not registered
with any search engine.

Mike Bergman cited a January 1996 article by Frank Garcia:

It would be a site that's possibly reasonably designed, but they didn't bother to register it with
any of the search engines. So, no one can find them! You're hidden. I call that the invisible
Web.

Another early use of the term Invisible Web was by Bruce Mount and Matthew B. Koll of
Personal Library Software in 1996.

The first use of the specific term Deep Web, now generally accepted, occurred in the
aforementioned 2001 Bergman study.

Future

34

The lines between search engine content and the deep Web have begun to blur, as
search services start to provide access to part or all of once-restricted content.

An increasing amount of deep Web content is opening up to free search as publishers


and libraries make agreements with large search engines.

In the future, deep Web content may be defined less by opportunity for search than
by access fees or other types of authentication.

Conclusion

35

The deep web will continue to perplex and fascinate everyone who uses the internet.

It contains an enthralling amount of knowledge that could help us evolve


technologically and as a species when connected to other bits of information.

And of course, its darker side will always be lurking, too, just as it always does in
human nature.

The deep web speaks to the fathomless, scattered potential of not only the internet,
but the human race, too.
