I couldn't even look for a deed because the website said that deed/title searching wasn't available. Very disappointed about it.

I'm sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience with the website's deed/title searching feature. It can be frustrating when a feature you were hoping to use isn't available.
We do hope that you found what you were looking for elsewhere.
