Searching the World Wide Web
Our Favorite Invisible Web Database
Apart from the pages indexed by regular web search engines, a significant
amount of information on the World Wide Web exists in the form of
databases and information stores. These resources are sometimes
referred to as "the Invisible Web" simply because regular
search engines are unable to access them.
A number of useful pages that point to or search through the Invisible
Web exist and our favourite is Complete
Planet. Information on other web search tools can be found on
the Starting your Quest.
The Complete Planet searches through up to 40,000 databases on
the Web. It also provides a categorized link similar to the way
Web Directories do--these links usually take you straight to the
database search pages of the relevant websites.
Remember!
Invisible Web Databases offer links to very focused areas. You
may have better results starting your quest with the more general
search and meta-search engines before investigating the Invisible
Web Database resources.
