It may be called "kofile", I am not 100% sure as I have not seen it at the courthouses I go to yet. I appreciate your input, but take a moment and review what you posted. You are an experienced examiner. These are public records. They should be made accessible to the public. These multiple step by step, redesign this or set up that is flat out wrong to access public records.

My office does not have the luxury of extensive on line access for the counties we service in Central Ohio. We have to go to the county courthouses to access the public records.

As for searching multiple names, maybe this explains it better. With USLandrecords, I can collate records (at the courthouse only) by parties, ie., Smith, John & Jill & Bob & Mary, say devisees on a certificate of transfer, and have all the records for the names and time period selected return. When I need to now search Jones, I don't have to exit the program. I can just enter Jones, Bill and just change the dates. With "Kofile", we don't have that option. When you change surnames, you have to exit the program and start over. This is inefficient.

 We print the index sheets as back up to our work in case of a claim. Without proof of a misindexed mortgage, etc., on the date the search was completed you have no proof that the examiner just did not miss the document. In a number of the counties we search in, if a correction is made to the index for a mis-indexed record rarely do they date the correction. So it looks like the mortgage was always properly indexed.

We don't have the options for tract searching for the counties we service. So if "Kofile" in Ohio offers that feature, it will do us no good. As for the ROD responsibility to set up the legal descriptions to appear, if I or any title examiner inform them of that they will deny, deny, deny and deny that again. They will throw the monkey back to "Kofile". In fact, we have had so many issues with one county that has adopted this system already, the elected official has told the examiners that she doesn't want to hear anymore about the problems they are having. We are on our own to figure this mess of a system out. Again, we should not have to do this to access PUBLIC records. So I am back to one of my original questions, if we experienced title examiners struggle with this system, how is ''John Q. Public" supposed to easily access these public records?

 Back to the claim issue, if you only print on line indices and you have a claim, the on line indices are not a defense to a missed record that resulted in a claim. Only the actual county courthouse record / index is your defense. Every county office in Ohio that has an on line site also has a disclaimer when you first access that site for the information contained.
