On How Public Information Search Brings to Light the Hidden Online World
No one is able to encompass so much knowledge. Yet what seems most depressing is that this data simply concern the content called the "Indexable Web" or the "Light Web". Researchers say there may be trillions more HTML pages masked in uncrawlable indexes and databases referred to as the Deep Web or the Hidden Web. Such unreachable archives rely upon custom search tools and are often found behind paid subscriptions, or they may be published in proprietary formats. The deep Web needs specialized search tools to help people delve into the deep, dark content found in the closed Web. Somewhere between these two regions, which exist side-by-side, is the crossroads of public data. Typically denoted public records, such half-public data shops possess simple search tools while they tend to be made more accessible from fee-based public data search Websites. According to the Background Records blog, there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of Internet archives of public records. These background records are made available by federal or state archives or some are found in for-profit archives, that may include telephone directories and business guides, professional profile archives, and so on. Even a typical job site offers some kind of public record keeping. However, a majorty of people mentally connect public records with records from government archives. When you wish to scan public archives when you need to know more about someone you know, sometimes to do a detailed background check, you won't have the time and possibly you are deprived of the resources to use all those sources. It should be clear why the background checks industry has become a growth industry. Some experts assess background records sales in the range of $1 billion+. Searching incredible numbers of public records procurable just on US citizens alone lies pretty much beyond the resources of most of us. Your favorite search engine lightly brushes the surface of the information stockple. Many academic resources touch upon the need for and value of background searches. Other Web guides like Blog.RecordsBackground.com also give us a glimpse of the nature of government records search and help us to understand it better.

The demand for information increaes geometrically over time as the Information Age unfolds. Thanks to the advent of the Internet, Web content we have made available exists in a large variety that is impossible to access. Researchers have indicated that a typical search engine index consists of 1,000,000,000,000 Web pages and that our electronic agglomeration acquires more information at the rate of one billion Web documents daily. Yet though online content vanishes after large archives close (for example, Vox is going out of business), the amount of information available online continues unabated in its wild growth.
