Finding Invisible Web Content A great deal of excellent legal and business information is freely available on the InternetMuch of it is contained within databases and is, therefore, invisible to most conventional search engines 58.

Finding Invisible Web Content O Search StrategyO DONT search for specific information using a conventional search engine O DO use a conventional search engine to search for a database that may contain the information you seekO THEN use the search box for that database to search for the specific information 60. Finding Invisible Web Content The point is that often the key to the answer is not locating the answer itself as the first step, but locating the right database in which to search for it.
