Wildcard Searches for Ticker Lookup

Telemet Orion Ticker Lookup tool can be used to find the symbol for stocks, mutual funds, economic indexes, etc.  Tools >Ticker lookup.  If you are unsure of the exact name, enter a “*” or “%” sign and then one word within the name to perform a wildcard returning all results with that word in the name.

For example, let’s say you want to know the ticker for the Unemployment Rate Index.  Typing “unemployment” in the search bar will return no results.

However, using the “*” or “%” sign in front of the word “unemployment” will deliver more results, including what you were looking for: US Unemployment Rate – EMPLOY
