This is stated in simple language on the terms page, which is linked at the top/middle of every page. You have to decide between putting the same text on every page vs. a high visibility place vs. a low visibility place. I opted for 2nd to make sure it's clear.

Do most people read and comprehend terms pages before using the information they discover from search engines? (I don't know)

  Absolutely not. A vanishingly tiny percent ever click on the terms link.

    Indeed, so the only good option would be to only search public records. Everything else should not be searchable.

It’s good that this is listed in the terms, but this raises two concerns: 1) People don’t read terms. Should they? Yes. Do they? No. 2) This language is more like a disclaimer than a term of use. I would not assume that disclaimers about the accuracy of the result would be found in the terms. So yes, the terms link is prominent, but no, I don’t think it addresses this issue.
