System Operation  <top>
After registering, I login and get a thin box with nothing in it. What happened? Why can I do a search?
The final step of the registration process lets you select the counties you wish to search as well as the billing plan for each county. If you did not save this information, then the thin box appears since no county was select. To fix this, login and click the
Modify Account link in the upper right hand corner of the page. Then select the Billing Plan link which displays the page where the billing plans are selected. After selecting the billing plans, click the Save Billing Plan button at the bottom. This will force a re-login at which point you will see the counties that you selected for searching.

When I perform a search, it seems I never find the document I am looking for. What am I doing wrong?
Remember, ALL the criteria you enter must match in order for a document to appear on the search results list. So, if you have entered a name, a date, a document type, and a file number; and the document type does not match, the document will not appear. If you have a book/page or a file number, that is normally all you need to enter to go directly to your document. Name searches alone work well, be sure to enter the names as shown.

Why am I not able to view images?
SuretyCountyRecords.com images are standard Group IV TIFF images. Your computer needs to have a viewer that is capable of viewing these images. With Windows 2000/NT/98, Imaging for Windows is the default TIFF image viewer and works well with SuretyCountyRecords.com images. With Windows XP, the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is the default viewer and also works well. Some programs, upon installation, replace the above programs as the default TIFF image viewer, even though they may not be able to view that type of image. These programs include Quicktime for Windows. Please refer to our Image Viewing Help Page for more information.

Are there any hot keys available with SuretyCountyRecords.com?
The normal Windows hot keys are applicable. Also, on the Search Critieria screen, ALT-S with select the SEARCH button.

How often are these database updated?
It depends on the county but we receive records for every county at least once a week. You can click on the NEWS link in the top menu to view the dates of each database.
