Google this, Google that, Google something else. But there’s a lot more to the web than Google, and in fact Google only shows you a tiny bit of what’s going on. You’ve heard of the “deep web” or “dark web” - the part not normally indexed by Google, and maybe even not by Yahoo, MSN, or Ask. Well, here’s a little list presenting a few “rabbit holes” into that vast, uncharted territory!
Dogpile - In the first place, you can check the Big Four (Google, MSN, Yahoo, Ask) search engines all at once with Dogpile. Since other search engines use the indexes from one of these four, chances are if you cannot find it here and you are sure it exists, it is “dark” to the web.
Clusty - Clusty is a more comprehensive search, finding those deep, dark crevasses that other search engines pass over. I’d nominate Clusty for “the dark-web Google” Of course, the more inclusive you make a search engine, the more spam sites it will pick up, so you might have to wade through a lot of garbage.
USA Library of Congress - Good for finding research materials for scholarly interests.
Nelson Search - If you’re looking for a journalistic piece, you can’t beat the self-proclaimed search engine for journalists. If there was a news story on it, it’s here.
Intute - Well, if the bots don’t do a good enough job of weeding out the spam sites, how about giving the humans a go? Intute is the only search engine which uses only web pages quality-checked by human researchers - guaranteeing that you’ll never get a spam hit!
AltaVista - What better way to search the dark web than use a dark search engine? AltaVista died in popularity when Google came out, but it’s still kicking, and it returns hits similar to Clusty.
Wayback Machine - Maybe the page you’re looking for no longer exists? that’s OK, the Wayback Machine should have an index of it. The only snag here is, you have to give it an exact URL. Once you have that URL, you can find the entire history for the domain - sometimes through several owners!
Bloglines - A search engine just for finding blogs. Anything that’s a blog is here, and these days the web is mostly blogs anyway!
Note that the whole thing behind the dark web is that it is mostly made of sites that are one of (a) spam sites rejected for quality (b) personal home pages, bulletin board archives, and other stuff not generally of interest to the public (c) academia, which lives in its own world (d) government, which lives in its own world (e) criminal and underground sites that aren’t in too great a hurry to be found! - LGod, on 10/11/2007, -9/+42Nice, now I can find "Dark Porn".
- Supertrout, on 10/11/2007, -1/+21Must have disappeared into a black hole.
- Hangender, on 10/11/2007, -4/+22Beyond Google? Thats like searching beyond the know universe.
- darkzealot89, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2353 Diggs != Number of Views
- jennamalia, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18I hereby present to you the steps required to rectify your disappointing situation:
1. Determine name of search engine.
2. Remove spaces if it contains multiple terms.
3. Add http://www. and .com to the beginning and end of the word
3.a http://www. goes at the beginning
3.b .com goes at the end
4. Copy and paste this result into your browser's address bar.
5. Submit.
(NOTE: This post is for humour purposes only. I know that wayback is a .org and that the LoC site is .gov.)
(FURTHER NOTE: Ok, I only wrote this to make myself laugh... Now give me a cookie!) - chinaman9, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15buried for being stoopid.. this has nothing to do with the real dark net. just a few ordinary, well-known, and basically lame sites.
- slapded, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14wow the link is dead already.
i would like to add that altavista is a good alternative to google - martinraul, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12I just realized now how badly google was washing my brain...
- capiCrimm, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14you just don't have access to the dark web like we do. Praise Satan.
- pinkrubberband, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12Naturally, the page doesn't load with Google Cache...
- jaygee, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11Lights out for the dark web.
- digitalme, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11People digg it so it goes in their history, and they can remember to look at it when it's back up.
- mrj5550, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11can someone put a mirror up, Digg is brokeded again...

- emericaskate126, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10amazing how people are digging and it's already down
so how can you digg if you haven't even read it? - AgileHeadCogs, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5If you're using Altavista, you're using Yahoo.
- RyanWilliams, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3AltaVista just uses the Yahoo! search results as far as I'm aware. This assertion would seem correct as a search between the two brings up pretty much identical results.
Considering how inaccurate and/or generally poor the named sites are, this article was clearly written specifically to be link bait and despite an interesting premise offers pretty much zero useful information. Well disguised, but the best topic in the world can't mask poor writing and research.
Never digging this site in my life. - goodbyepolar, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3http://oedb.org/library/college-basics/research-beyond-google
- aydoubleyou, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Cant digg what I cant see :(
"Unable to connect" - rlbigfish, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5It appears the dark web has its account suspended :X
- secleinteer, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7Actually, I felt they really didn't say much of anything - they just listed other websites. A huge part of the "dark web" that wasn't mentioned is IRC. There's so much out there that you can't access with a web browser.
- oneoverzero, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4IT'S A TRAP
- RobbieF, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Tried those. My searches for "child porn", "rape" and "how to blow up a building" didn't go very well.
brb.. knock at the dooD^D^D^D^ - slapded, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2sorry, no youre not. i get different results on things
- Adk920, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I was expecting a little bit more "shadow internet" sites
but a list of sites that I use regularly like altavista or wayback machine will suffice
i will try dogpiles and clusty though
thx
dugg - jerr0328, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Down? See! It's a conspiracy by Google! If it doesn't exist to Google, it doesn't exist!
I'm just kidding. I like the idea that someone brought up that a ping to the coral cache or duggmirror or something should be done after it reaches a certain number of diggs or something along those lines to get it before it goes down (or gets its bandwidth chewed up) - carolinaws, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3www.dogpile.com

www.bloglines.com - wishninja, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I like kartoo for intense searching. Its visual interface if you know how to use it makes deep net searching possible.
www.kartoo.com - twigboy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1beyond the dark portal
zug zug - cyberoidx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1No one said that we're talking about number of views. We dont need an Exact View count to prove that a server's bad against the digg effect. Consider Digg Count The New Scale.
- mrwhitethc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Feel the power of the Dark Web!
- pfpurcell, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3I remember darkweb sites. strangeland.com was one example - rotten.com was a little too tame.
But I mean, these were sick, sick morbid sites - images of corpses, these are the sites that hosted beheading videos, etc. etc.
THAT'S the darkweb. - speerross, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Buried as Lame. Clusty looks like the only useful one and I have yet to try it; I'm getting that just on the descriptions. Most of this probably is indexed by google. Bloglines for fingind blogs? googles got 'em. Nelson search for news? Google got 'em. These maybe some useful search tools but Dark Web? Bollocks.
- Aitese, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yes...it's "you're" as in you're an idiot...see?
- colto, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You can't see because it's dark silly!
- jubeininja69, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0try google scholar. google makes no mention of its own service but its a great way to search educational stuff.
- bluesdealer, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Nice, but I wish the cache had preserved the links instead of just the text.
- celkin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I say your stoopid.
- Armez, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1See what happens when you search the dark interwebs, it breaks and then you have to contact billing information...
- Sacrifice, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Dogpile is an excellent search tool. It queries the popular search engines, then combines and ranks the results into a single "Best of the Best" list. It works quite well, test it for yourself.
Check out their demonstration: http://comparesearchengines.dogpile.com/ - KMartSheriff, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4you're
- AmazingAndrex, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2...you start fapping to Fark?
- CJTDom, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3Just to clear that up for non coders, != in most languages, such as BASH means not equal, sorry I missed the 2 minute mark
- xlent, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0hysterical
- antdude, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Mirror without images: http://dotcache.com/http://www.askreamaor.com/search-engines/8-ways-for-searching-the-dark-web-beyond-google/
- spacebar14, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Lol, Clusty seems to be suffering from the Digg affect now.
- carpespasm, on 10/11/2007, -5/+4that's because they bought out flickr.
- mrj5550, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3Digg is broken... Can someone please put a mirror of the page.
