General Search Guidelines

  • All searches are case insensitive. Thus all search information that you enter can be in any case: upper, lower or mixed case.
  • Textbox labels with a red asterisk at the end are required text fields.
  • You can enter partial information in any search textbox. For example, for a name search, if you enter in the string SMI for the last name and the letter J for the first name then your search results will show all names with last names that begin with SMI and with first names that begin with the letter J.
  • Your search results information will be display in the right frame. To select an account number click your mouse anywhere in the account number row.

Frequently Asked Questions

I can't find the information I am looking for. What can I do?

Below are some reasons why you may not be able to find the information you are looking for.
  • You have entered incorrect information.
  • Our database contains incorrect information.
  • We have stored information in our database different from what you expect. For example a name search of SAINT LOUIS would not produce any information because in our database it is stored as ST LOUIS.
To find the information you are looking for, try providing less search criteria in order to broaden your search results. See below for more specific suggestions.

If searching by Address:
  1. Check all the search information that you have entered for accuracy.
  2. Try removing the direction and suffix values if present.
  3. Try reducing or removing the address number if present.
  4. Try reducing the street spelling to fewer characters. It is possible that the street name spelling in our database does not match yours.
  5. Searches that begin with the word SAINT should be abbreviated to ST with no abbreviation period. For example a search for SAINT ANDREWS would be entered as ST ANDREWS.
