Madison County, Indiana must stay distinct from Madison County, Alabama
This page resolves the unqualified county name to Madison County, Indiana. That jurisdiction should stay visible because a separate Madison County, Alabama record set exists.
Within Indiana, the Recorder handles recording functions and the county Public Records Commission documents records governance. Neither role turns all county files into one universal search.
A Madison County, Indiana result should name the office and retain the party, parcel, filing or date field used there. State plus office is the minimum useful provenance for an ambiguous county name.

Madison County, Indiana office attribution resolves same-name ambiguity
The word “Madison” is not enough provenance for a public-record result. The state, county office and record type should travel together, especially when another Madison County exists in Alabama.
A Recorder filing, Clerk record or another Indiana county product should keep its own office-native reference. That combination is stronger than a bare county name and date.
