Sidebar: Diving into the deep web

When dealing with the deep Web, keep these points in mind:

-- Information that is stored in a database is a part of the deep Web. This can include large listings of things with a common theme. All directories are part of the deep Web.

-- Information that is new and dynamically changing, such as news or stock and bond prices, will appear on the deep Web.

-- Web sites of searchable databases can be retrieved via directories and search engines. This may be thought of as "split-level searching." For the first level, search for the database site. For the second level, go to the site and search the database itself for the information you want.
