Deep web search paradigms "If fifty million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing -" -Anatole FranceIn this chapter, we review prominent aspects for designing deep web search systems and introduce the classic paradigms: surfacing and virtual integration.We observe that there is much variation between existing deep web search systems and that it would be better to describe these systems in terms of seven key aspects that we have identified.Finally, we motivate and introduce a third paradigm, virtual surfacing, which, in our vision, is a better way of searching the web.Parts of this chapter have been published in Tjin-Kam-Jet (2010); Tjin-Kam-Jet et al.
