What can you find within the deep web?

Directories are part of the deep web. These can include things like:

phone books
"people finders" such as lists of professionals; doctors or lawyers
patents
laws
dictionary definitions
items for sale in a Web store or on Web-based auctions
digital exhibits
multimedia and graphical files

Information that is new and constantly changing in content will appear on the deep web. Look to the deep Web for late breaking items, such as:

news
job postings
available airline flights, hotel rooms, etc.
stock and bond prices, market averages, etc.
