    2. The Both Names field means the name will be searched in both the Grantor and/or Grantee section of an indexed document. It doesn’t refer to searching for more than one person or name; e.g., a husband and wife, A/K/As, etc.
    3. To search for a specific document type, uncheck the box at the top where it states: “Leave this box checked to search for all document types.” When the box is unchecked, a list of document types will drop down.

  • Double click on the document to view in advance or simply click “Purchase.” The indexed information appears by double clicking on a document.
