I agree.  I think what bothers me most is that the company, REIData/Stewart Title, is actually saying that this technology will make it easier for less experienced searchers to do more complex jobs.  I don't think that is true.  The experience is what makes it possible for the searcher to recognize problems on the documents he/she reviews - finding the documents is only a small part of the job.

Technology may be able to make a searcher more efficient, but it isn't going to necessarily make them capable of doing more complex searches.  If they couldn't handle the complicated searches using the county records - I don't believe they will be able to handle them using this platform either.

It reminds me of the Holiday Inn Express commercials - you know the ones where those who stay at a Holiday Inn Express are able to overt nuclear meltdowns, or conduct brain surgery.  They make for cute commercials, but one really has nothing to do with the other.

Thanks,
