I am not talking about the dark web by the way. Also What events took place for this to happen or caused it to happen?

No idea, but we should definitely thank them. Without indexing, you literally couldn’t find anything on the interwebz.

I think it was Lycos that started the internet search business in a big way, but there might have been precursors. (Gopher, for example.)

Many, many, moons ago, I used webcrawler. Shit for service, but in those days the intertubes were pretty skinny. I wouldn't even look for an internet provider until we could afford DSL (we weren't munificent in those days).
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Thanks for all who answered but I have other questions related to this. Why isn't the deep web or most of the web indexed by search engines? what's the point of using TOR or something like TOR If the entire internet is indexed?
