A search presents you with results that match your search criteria, providing you with a limited subset of our data to view. Data that is similar but different may not be presented, making it difficult to generate the desired results when inexact information is known. For example, searching on an owner's name of "SMITH JOHN A" would not include property owned by "SMITH J A".

A browse allows you to page forward and backwards through all our data. It uses the browse criteria to position itself at a specific point within our database and allows for paging forward and/or backwards from there. Browse results are sorted in the order of your criteria. For example, if the browse criteria specified an Owner's Name then the browse results are sorted by the Owner's Name, if a Street Name was specified then the results are sorted in Street Name order. Regardless of the sort order, it is possible to page forward and/or backward to view similar results or to even switch the sort order from within the results.
