OnlineSearches.com is operated by Intelius, LLC
This domain is named on Intelius, LLC's California data-broker filing, and the site says so itself in its footer. It runs no removal process of its own - every privacy link on the page points at Intelius, so that is where a request has to be made.

In performing a search, you may ultimately be directed to Intelius.com where additional information is offered for a fee." Both the domain and the subdomain are on Intelius, LLC's filing.

Background
Background
OnlineSearches doesn't make you infer the funnel - it prints it. The disclaimer on its homepage says the free directory covers name, address and partial phone numbers, and that a search may end up at Intelius.com where more is sold. That is a rare thing to find written down, and it settles what would otherwise be a judgment call about how this site relates to its parent.
The directory itself is genuinely large - thousands of links to free public-record searches across every state and county, sorted by record type, with a note on each about whether the source is free, paid, or unavailable online. The monetisation sits alongside it as tracking.intelius.com affiliate links on the record-type pages.
Two domains from Intelius' filing meet here. onlinesearches.com redirects to publicrecords.onlinesearches.com, and both appear separately on the registration.
The free directory is genuinely useful, and free. Its links go to actual county and state record offices, with each marked free, paid or unavailable. If you came here to look something up rather than to be looked up, you can use the directory and ignore the search box that leads to the paid report.
