How do you find out if someone has been indicted by the FBI?
The FBI does not issue indictments. The FBI investigates crimes and turns evidence over to magistrates and / or grand juries. Those legal authorities issue indictments. Some indictments are public and some are sealed. The public ones are usually in press releases. The sealed ones are secret, often so the suspect does not know of the charges or so evidence won't be destroyed. The best way to find out about this is to NOT do it yourself. Hire a professional background checking firm.
What is a unsealed indictment?
Generally speaking all indictments from a Grand Jury are handed down "unsealed."

How often are indictments done?
Sealed indictiments are held until such time as the prosecutor decides the time is right to arrest everybody named in the indictments. The reason they are sealed is so that the arrest of one or two individuals does not alert the rest of their crime confederates that a crackdown is in progress. Th eobject is to arrest them ALL in one massive operation. To that end, secrecy is imperative.
