About SearchSystems.net

Search Systems: the Number One rated resource for public records on the Internet!

Search Systems is a family-run business established January of 1990 in Newbury Park, California and incorporated as Pacific Information Resources, Inc. dba Search Systems in 1997. Tim Koster is the CEO and Founder of Search Systems and Darryl Koster is the Webmaster.

Also in 1997, Search Systems was the first on the Internet to establish a directory of hard-to-find public record databases. Since then Search Systems' directory has grown and now provides access to over 36,000 databases containing billions of public records. Each link is handpicked for content and usefulness and is offered with a service description.

In 2004, Search Systems added a fee-based Premium criminal record service to provide access to over 170 million criminal records nationwide. In 2005 we added bankruptcies, judgments, and tax liens to the Premium service, with more premium databases planned.

Search Systems' public record service offers the public the chance to get the facts on people or businesses. Researchers can access a directory of criminal record databases, verify contractor and professional licenses, check out corporations, and look up property records and business permits. The site provides access to marriage and death records, the location of sex offenders, and much more.

For the last six years, a search on Google, Yahoo, MSN, or AOL for Public Records has ranked us number one.
