Things I didn’t know… I did know about the Invisible Web; I didn’t know about the Opaque Web or Nearly Visible Web. (I can guess about the Vanishing Web). Think of the nearly visible or opaque web as web pages that are just one click beyond the reach of a search engine. The website itself has been visited and some of its pages are copied into the search engine Index. However, due to storage limitations, not all pages on a site are visited by every search engine. The opaque or nearly visible web is information on a public website that has not been indexed by the robotic 'crawlers' or 'spiders' sent out by the search engine. Indeed the information is 'indexible' but it hasn‘t yet been indexed. I know about operators (+, - and “ ”, including Boolean Operators). I didn’t know about advanced operators, i.e. [intitle:] or [inurl:].

More Things I Didn’t Know… From: Heine, Carl. ‘Do you (only) Google?’ 21 st Century Information Fluency. Accessed online 9/18/08 at 21cif.imsa.edu/rkitp/features/v1n1/leadarticle_v1_n1.html Search engines do not search the live Internet. Different databases like Google and Yahoo do not contain the same information. – Sometimes information is collected randomly; In other cases it is collected by experts. – No database indexes more than a fraction of the entire Internet. Only Metasearch engines (i.e. Dogpile.com) send queries to several search engines simultaneously “Google’s simplicity and impressive search prowess tricks students into thinking they are good all-around searchers” – Pamela Martin, Utah State librarian
