Searching the Deep web for People

Search engines such as Google collect pages from across the web allowing us to search the content of those pages. This is great if we are searching for a person and their name can be found on a static web page. Unfortunately, standard search engines are unable to tap into the vast quantities of information on people located in online databases. For example, you won’t find White Pages listings using a Google Search. All this information untapped by search engines makes up the Deep Web.
