A state search is not necessarily the best option for your lost money search.

An "all-in-one" database is usually the better choice. An all-in-one database has money from all 50 states and federal databases. A state database will only have money from one state. An "all-in-one" government database does not exist.

It is important to note that it is very likely that you have unclaimed monies reported in a state database that is not the state you live in. This is especially true with inheritance or companies or institutions that you conducted business with outside of your state of residence.

A state only search is an incomplete unclaimed monies search and will not always find the lost money owed to you.
