These instructions are for Internet Explorer (IE), but similar procedures would apply for other browsers as well.

Up at the top of your screen, you should have a toolbar that says File, Edit, et cetera. Find a blank area up there and right-click on it to make sure "Links" is checked.

Now, once you obtain a quote using the SI search box, you can drag & drop the icon from the "Address" section of your toolbar onto the "Links" section. You now have a quick-link on your toolbar that you can click on anytime to get to your quote.

It's also good to right-click on the link after you save it to rename it with a short name so it doesn't hog your toolbar.

For instance, if your favorite quotes are MSFT, ORCL, and PFE, after you're done you could have three icons on your toolbar labeled MSFT, ORCL, and PFE... or simply M, O, and P or however you name them.

BTW, the toolbars of IE are very customizable and it's worth learning how to adapt them to your needs.

(Another method would be to simply save the URL of the quote as a favorite or bookmark... that would give you a two-click method of getting to your quote.)
