Online title search companies? Legit?

[Ryan Keith]

Anyone ever use one of the many online title search companies? Experiences?

I have a local company I use now and they can be pretty slow. Couple weeks sometimes. Some of the online companies claim a 48hr turnaround. 

I know in the distant past that someone would physically go to the courthouse to search records. Is that still the case? If so how can an online company do that? Or are they just relying on online records only?

Most of the online companies that I found claim to insure their searches. 

Just curious. Thanks!
