Well…TBF the T-1000 didn’t exactly have 2 years and an expansive intelligence network to work from. And the only reason John Connor was alive to that point is he had a T-800 protecting him. In the span of a couple hours the T-1000 tracked JC to the arcade and almost turned him into swiss cheese if Model 101 didn’t show up at that exact moment.
I’m sure many of us have seen the director’s cut, or at least the deleted scene after this conversation where the T-1000 goes outside and kills the dog because he won’t stop barking…and finds his real name on the collar.
I’m not fully up on Terminator lore, but aren’t they from the future? Seems like they could probably have a pretty good idea on most things just from stored data
Terminator 2 was made and set in the early 90s from what I remember. There was no stored data for most things, and if there was, it probably wouldn’t have survived the nuclear bombs that started the war with the machines

Fully agreed. This was before the ubiquity of the Internet and mass storage of data.
Although the T-1000 could have, and probably should have, at least given the house a once over
Major plot point was using a phone book to find people. There wasn’t much stored data back then.
Medical records for example mostly only go back to around mid 90’s digitally.
