There's a huge amount of information on the web that is deliberately closed to the search engines. This is either because it's in odd formats, or that the owners have excluded the database from search engines. Or sometimes that the database navigation means that Search engines ignore it. Or that these sites have nobody linking in to them and so are never found.

Invisible-web.net - Searchable databases and specialized search engines Is a site that attempts to build a directory to these resources. Most of the sites allow free access and a link is provided both to the site's home page and to the search page within the site.
The Invisible Web resources we've selected range from a searchable bibliography about African Elephants to a road construction database for U.S. highways. From a database of Canadian statistics to an interactive calendar of events at the world's leading art museums. It's an eclectic collection, but we feel that every resource included represents one of the best sources of information available for its particular subject area.
