They run your name and social security number through a public database company and look for information such as:
1. Where did you live and when?
2. Do you have good credit
3. Have you been convicted of a crime
4. Have you filed a claim for Workers Compensation
5. Have you been involved in Civil Lawsuits.
You may also be required to take a drug test / physical.

Are you asking about a backgound search for employment, renting property or another purpose? If for employment the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse has a good guide as to what constitutes a background search and what things an employer can check. Here is a link to their web iste for the answer - it is Fact Sheet #16. http://www.privacyrights.org/fs/fs16-bck.htm

The exact extent of a background check will vary by employer, however they normally get your criminal record (felonies only or felonies and misdemeanors) and credit record.
