Who prefers the old yahoo finance?

Question

Why have they changed the finance search on yahoo finance.com for the worse?

You type in the partial stock name and nothing happens. Then click get quote. Xyz not found. Page back and start again, hey presto the drop down menu appears. Is it just mehee? Or Youhoo?

Answer 1

Sorry but mainly it is you. Even on the old page we had two separate buttons or boxes to put information.

You say "You type in the partial stock name". OOPS!  You are trying to type in a company name in the "get quote" box. That field ONLY wants stock symbols.

On the page I use (market overview) if you look on the right there is a link for "Free stock market symbol lookup". That is the one you want for looking up symbols using a partial company name.

Good Luck.
