Indiana court case search: the courts and the clerk.
Felony cases in Indiana are heard in the Circuit and Superior Courts, which hears misdemeanors too, and the Clerk of the Circuit Court keeps the case files. Indiana publishes a statewide court source, and a name search here includes it, so a result can show the disposition. Indiana's judiciary also runs a public case search, MyCase, Indiana’s public case search, linked from each county page.
A name is a weak key on a court index. The court case search by name page explains how a name fails and what narrows it; the court records search page covers the record layer itself.
Beyond Indiana court records: jail rosters and arrest records by county. The same counties, the other two questions.
