Taking into consideration the size of the Internet nowadays, there is a new study which showed that only the surface information from the Web’s massive reservoir is reached by sophisticated search engines. According to a 41 page research paper done by a South Dakota company responsible for developing a new Internet software, the Web is 500 times larger than what search engines like Yahoo, Google dot com, and AltaVista are presenting.
The reason why much frustration is being caused by these hidden information coves is because they hinder people from getting what they need online. Many people complain about the weather and today just as much are complaining about the search engines making them rather similar. When it comes to the invisible Web, this has long been the association made with the uncharted territory of the Internet’s World Wide Web sector.

When it comes to the terrain, there is one Sioux Falls start up company that calls it the deep Web and this is so that it would not be mistaken for the surface information collected by the Internet search engines. Unlike before there is no more invisible Web today. This is what the general manager of the company considers to be the cool aspect of what they are doing. When it comes to these underutilized outposts of cyberspace, they are actually a substantial chunk of the Internet according to many researchers but there has not been a company that extensively explored the back roads of the Web until this new company came along.
There was a new software deployed within the last six months estimating the number of documents stored on the Web to be 550 billion. One billion pages can be indexed with the combined efforts of Internet search engines. Mid 1994 became witness to one of the first Web engines’, lycos, feat of indexing over 54,000 pages. In terms of search engines which have come a long way since 1994 they are yet to be able to index more pages due to the increase in the size of databases because of corporations, universities, and government agencies.
More than the dynamic information stored in databases, search engines depend on the technology that is able to identify static pages. Considering search engines, they will simply bring a user to a home site that houses a big database and the user will need to make further queries to obtain specific information.
For the company, they were able to develop a solution and this is the software called lexibot. Things kick off when a single search request is made and then it searches the various pages indexed by traditional search engines not to mention delves into Internet databases for information. But according to executives, this software is not for everyone. When the 30 day free trial period lapses, this particular software will cost $89. Another thing about the lexibot, this is not much faster than usual. Expect to spend about 90 minutes for complex searches while typical searches will take 10 to 25 minutes to complete on the average.
If looking for chocolate chip cookie or carrot cake recipes through the Internet is grandma’s cup of tea then this is not for her. Lexibot is meant for the usage of the academic and scientific circles according to the privately held company. It is possible for the software to become too overpowering but even so there were Internet veterans who still found the company’s research to be rather fascinating.
Considering the heightened size of the World Wide Web, specialized search engines could be the key. Utilizing a centralized approach in this case will not result to making it more successful. It is telling people, businesses, and even the world about their breakthrough which becomes the greatest challenge for the company.
