Deep Web Search Engines
Where to start a deep web search is easy. You hit Google.com and when you brick wall it, you go to scholar.google.com which is the academic database of Google.
After you brick wall there, your true deep web search begins. You need to know something about your topic in order to choose the next tool. To be fair, some of these sites have improved their index-ability with Google and are now technically no longer Deep Web, rather kind-of-deep-web. However, there are only a few that have done so.
Weblinks for ‘DefCon’ at https://www.defcon.org/html/links/defcon-media-archives.html and for ‘FIRST’ (Military aggression database) are not working. Please check these out.
FIRST link has be updated. Defcon link works fine, no change.

Thanks for listing the Academic Index on your page :

Your evaluation: “Academic Index
Yes, Dr Bell, my mistake. Academic Index was judged against criteria of a meta search engine. Given the nature of the filtered search it produces, I will re-review it and move it into its proper category. I also confirm a change to the index page on 9/11/12 7:49am.
Please consider adding vertical deep web file search engine : http://www.findthatfile.com, searches almost all filetypes and protocols and also looks in contents, extracts, and metadata.
Yes, I like it. Thank you Ms Boivin! Going into the stack.
http://www.findthatfile.com appears to be broken now.
thx.

Not quite a deep web resource, but it does have some good links. A resource would be some database interface to find other things.
Very helpful article. I
My input: http://www.findthatfile.com, a file based search engine that searches almost every major source and file type from over 300 million urls.
Excellent article, will help me a lot. How about this site : http://www.scirus.com, for scientific/academic documents and papers search?
added it. Thx Remy.

Fantastic list. You should add http://SocialCatfish.com. They’re help people find and verify people using images, professional licenses, emails, phone numbers, etc, etc.
It appears that Yippy.com is a bad link.
Thanks for the great website. Awesome.
Yippy has been checked and seems to be working fine.

Was wanting to find a website that had REAL realtime satellite images of the earth to where I can zoom in and actually see cars and houses. Or at least one that updates every twenty to thirty mins?? It has to be 100% free too.
