What is the Deep or Hidden Web? What is Knowable There (broadly speaking)?
The so-called Deep (or Hidden) Web refers to the dynamically available information on the Web that is not available at a static uniform resource locator (URL). This information is not readily available to the present-day Web search engines and is so “hidden.” (“Web browsers” are the technologies that enable the visualizing of web pages with their various image and multimedia elements.) Various sources suggest that the hidden Web is some 500-times the size of the Surface Web, but the original source of that assertion is not clear.
There are Deep Web crawlers available. Some of these use automated ways to fill out Web forms to request particular data, which is then collected. There are tools that enable federated searching (across a number of websites). There are other methods used also to access information from the Deep Web.

Contents on the Deep (Hidden) Web
Generally speaking, there are a wide range of publicly available government-collected records on the Deep Web. There are different types of dynamic weather, price, real estate, and similar information on the Deep Web.
