Invisible
or Deep Web:
This portion of the Internet consists of information that requires interaction to display, such as CGI scripts, forms, logins, etc. lt is currently estimated to be over 150,000 databases housing 700 billion documents, over 95% or which are publicly available. Crawler-based search engines cannot download these documents, so specialized sources such as these provide the only access.
