This appears to be a charge from a public records search or retrieval service.
Is the SEARCH PUBLIC RECORDS charge legitimate or fraud?
SEARCH PUBLIC RECORDS is a recognized billing descriptor associated with CIVIL DATA RESEARCH. That identification tells you who the charge is from — it cannot by itself confirm that your specific transaction was authorized. If you don't recognize it, first check whether someone who shares your card made the purchase, then contact CIVIL DATA RESEARCH directly before disputing the charge with your bank.
