 If you are having difficulty finding a symbol for a company name that you know, try using the Contains filter rather than Starts With. Company Names can sometimes contain extra words that you are not aware of, so using just part of the name and the Contains filter will make it easier to find the symbol.
It is possible to see all the stocks that contain certain combinations of letters. For example, Trust Units on the TSX market end in .UN, so doing a search for Stock Symbol Contains .UN will identify all the Trust Units that trade on the TSX market.
