An online search is instant. The disadvantage is that as a database search, the records retrieved are often less detailed and not as current as an on-site county search. On the other hand, an on-site county search is updated as suspects are booked and court cases are filed, and as a result, has the the most current information. It also offers more detailed case information. However, please be aware results can take up to 72 hours to return and costs are greater with a single county search.
