An ANOMALOUS STATE OF KNOWLEDGE (Belkin,1980) is the primary motivator of information seeking behaviors.

The amount of data available for consultation on the Internet calls for the configuration of adequate instruments of information retrieval to respond to and meet the needs of the users.

For a specialized search, one may need to select the retrieval mechanism as much as the resource to be searched.

Ralph A. Clevenger

The INVISIBLE or DEEP WEB has been defined as the portion of text pages, files, or other often high-quality authoritative information, that general-purpose search engines cannot add to their indexes for technical or deliberate choice (Sherman and Price, 2001).
