What is Deep web?

Internet content that cannot be indexed by conventional search engines such as Google, Yahoo, or Yandex, because it is held in locations generated dynamically, or because access is password-protected, or because the documents are in formats that cannot be indexed, among other reasons. Sometimes the content is unlawful – such as child pornography or the sale of drugs – but it can also be stored information that the owners merely want to keep out of the public domain, such as databases. It is estimated that it represents 95% of internet content.
