Robert, This will cause a tremendous amout of work for you going forward, especially on common name matters or active county names (like the one you mentioned).

The good part is that if there are no "Title Plants" in your county(s), (By title plant, I mean a privately owned and maintained geographical index of the records-usually owned by title agencies or companies) then the playing field is level for everyone because all searches will have to be done @ the courthouse thru the same set of records. Therefore a higher price could be fairly charged.  You will have to try to sell this to your clients (especially the large national vendor management/title companies) as they are usually looking for the least expensive fastest turanable product available.

If data companies who purchase images from the clerk, like DataTrace, Zenodata and others chose to either manually index those images or sell the images to a company who geographically indexes the records, you could be at risk of loosing to those competitors.

Here in TX, the State Board of Insurance requires that all title work related to a title policy must be worked from a "title plant" (geographic index). These are not public records but are private "libraries" owned by local title agents.  In the metro areas of TX, data companies actually purchase the indexes and images from the clerk (usually digital data now-a-days) and either electronically or manually index the documents against the legal description of the property. Then sell "subscriptions" to their data or "title plant".  This cost runs from about $3000 to $15,000/month depending on the company and the county.

Hope this helps.
