The yahoo/finance search field is not finance specific and yields all sorts of output, including quote. For example when I type in "MN" in yahoo/finance, my first hit are links to the state of Minnesota, Minnesota football teams etc. That's not true for me. :) What page are you using? On finance.yahoo.com I just typed in "MN" and it auto completes as a ticker. It also has two buttons "Search Finance" and "Search Web".

Boo Yahoo. Sometimes more than 3 mouseclicks. I have all my stocks on My Yahoo. Finding out if there was corporate news (and other new things too, like new Seeking Alpha write-up) was easy, because Yahoo placed an indicator (asterisk) in front of the stock symbol. And all I had to do was click on that stock symbol. Now for news on my stocks I have to drag up to Yahoo finance, click there, and individually go through each of my portfolios and read the news below the particular portfolio. Ecch. === Edit. Maybe the Yahoo people in charge believe that 85% of people on Yahoo have fewer than 20 stocks and maybe only watch or track 10 more at most. For those of us owning and/or tracking hundreds of stocks though, Yahoo changes are a step or more backward.
