[PW] ?deep web searching

[S M Colowick]

I'm pretty sure that Amazon's "search inside the book" feature counts
as "deep Web." I've used it several times to answer questions for
patrons, including the time that someone was looking for a short story
called "Appointment in Baghdad" (by Edith Wharton, I think). It turned
out that this was actually an excerpt from an essay, which one
middle-school English textbook was calling a short story and had given
a title. I found it in a book of the author's essays at Amazon.
