I hate to intrude again, but the FBI's own website letter deliberately
generates only a rather cursory and insubstantial search.  It does not
search for Field Office records, nor to search for older records in the
general/manual indices.

The Getmyfbifile.com site also allows you to request files from certain
other federal agencies as well.
