What is the Deep Web?

Estimating the Web’s Size:
The Deep Web is vast, potentially spanning 500 billion to 1 trillion pages, compared to the 20-30 billion pages indexed by traditional search engines like Google. This illustrates the significant scope of information that remains largely untapped.

For travel operators, understanding the Deep Web is crucial. It offers insights into consumer behavior and competitive intelligence. Marcus recalls advising travel operators in 1995 about the internet’s potential for direct online ticket sales?"advice that proved prescient as the internet transformed the industry.
Future of Search Engines:
While search engine accuracy may improve, the gap between indexed and invisible content might persist due to the continuous development of new file types and multimedia.
Google’s Universal Search Algorithm:
A Universal Search Algorithm could enhance Google’s capability to explore the Deep Web. However, Marcus emphasizes the importance of teaching effective search query techniques to improve search outcomes. Often, the quality of results depends on the quality of the queries themselves.

Marcus is optimistic about the potential of semantic search engines and has dedicated a section in his blog to this evolving field. Technologies like RDF enhance content tagging, which is promising for the future of semantic search.
Evolution of Information Gathering:
The future promises more precise information retrieval and relevant results, aided by tools like RSS and email alerts. Marcus’s publication, Current Awareness Monitors, Alerts and Information Traps for 2008, highlights ways to stay updated in specific fields. Travel operators, in particular, should monitor their business names and competitors to maintain a competitive edge.
