==Non-indexed content== Bergman, in a paper on the deep web published in ''The Journal of Electronic Publishing'', mentioned that Jill Ellsworth used the term ''[[Invisible Web]]'' in 1994 to refer to websites that were not registered with any search engine.<ref name="bergman2001">{{cite journal |first= Michael K. | last= Bergman | title=The Deep Web: Surfacing Hidden Value | journal=The Journal of Electronic Publishing |date=August 2001 | volume=7 | issue=1 | url=http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=jep;view=text;rgn=main;idno=3336451.0007.104 |doi=10.3998/3336451.0007.104| doi-access=free | hdl=2027/spo.3336451.0007.104 | hdl-access=free }}</ref> Bergman cited a January 1996 article by Frank Garcia:<ref>{{cite journal | last = Garcia | first = Frank | title = Business and Marketing on the Internet | journal = Masthead | volume = 15 | issue = 1 | date = January 1996 | url = http://tcp.ca/Jan96/BusandMark.html | access-date=February 24, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19961205083117/http://tcp.ca/Jan96/BusandMark.html |archive-date=December 5, 1996}}</ref> <blockquote> It would be a site that's possibly reasonably designed, but they didn't bother to register it with any of the search engines. So, no one can find them! You're hidden. I call that the invisible Web. </blockquote> Another early use of the term ''Invisible Web'' was by Bruce Mount and Matthew B. Koll of [[Personal Library Software]], in a description of the No. 1 Deep Web program found in a December 1996 press release.<ref name="PLS">@1 started with 5.7 terabytes of content, estimated to be 30 times the size of the nascent World Wide Web; PLS was acquired by AOL in 1998 and @1 was abandoned. {{cite press release |title=PLS introduces AT1, the first 'second generation' Internet search service |publisher=Personal Library Software |date=December 1996 |url=http://www.pls.com/news/pr961212_at1.html |access-date=February 24, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19971021232057/http://www.pls.com/news/pr961212_at1.html |archive-date=October 21, 1997 }}</ref> The first use of the specific term ''deep web'', now generally accepted, occurred in the aforementioned 2001 Bergman study.<ref name=bergman2001/>
