Lisa,
you mentioned three entities in your post; Naltea, Alta and Sot. Robert addressed the Sot part. I don't any Alta officers or board members that freuquent this board so you may have to address your concerns by e-mailing them.
As far as Naltea, yes we are striving to get abstractors AND title companies to return to a true search at the county level. Yes, I'm sure there are members of both Alta and Naltea that use on-line searches as an instrument to completing their searches. There are risks in using these on-line platforms as you just pointed out, i.e. missing documents, further mis-indexing and a whole host of additional problems including personal information being posted on the inter-net. I've listed Naltea's mission statement and objectives below.
