This is a trend that will unfortunately continue. The only solution is to understand that there is a percentage of searches that have to be done onshore or and/or by a local searcher, particularly commercial searches, and to charge accordingly. We will find that an increasing percentage of the work we do will fall into this category and the title companies will have to understand that without "regular" work volume, prices on the more complex work will have to come up to keep us in business.
