Searchsystems.net
The best site for finding public records is SearchSystems.net, with more than 15,200 searchable public-record databases, including records of unclaimed property, sex offenders, and legislative documents, to name a few. You can do nationwide or state-by-state searches, or visit the growing international section.
Most searches are free, and in each case, the site links out to the relevant government agency or private company that tracks the information. The service is U.S.-centric but is adding databases from other countries.
