Direct Search
"...search is a growing compilation of links to the search interfaces of resources that contain data not easily or entirely searchable/accessible from general search tools like Alta Vista, Google, and Hotbot. Although general search tools are essential for the retrieval of Internet based data, often many do not realize that large amounts of information are not easily searchable and accessible via these search tools. This 'hidden' from 'general search tool' material has become known as the "'nvisible web'".
