Inconsistent Search Tool Filtering
A
Absolute Shrew
There seems to be an issue with the search tool regarding stocks with single character tickers. Sometimes, it defaults to a ticker that I haven't requested. For example, I type in B for Barrick Mining and the tool gives me BRKB. I type in G for Genpact and the tool gives me GOOG. M for Macy's gives me MMM.
Other times it works correctly. For example, F for Ford gives me F. D for Dominion Energy gives me D. C for Citigroup gives me C.
I don't know if this behavior happens with 2 or 3 character tickers. Sometimes I catch the issue, other times I don't and I have to retype the ticker and select the proper ticker from the list.
While I'm thinking about it, here's a suggestion. If there are 2 identical tickers, please default to the ticker that is for a market in the country that I reside in. There are times when the search tool defaults to a foreign market and I don't catch it -- and end up analyzing a chart that is not the correct chart. Thank you!

Seems similar to my post within “Slow Symbol Search” under Bugs & Data errors.
I’m still experiencing this every single day. I type one CUSIP, hit enter, it retrieves a different CUSIP. Have to retry my ticker slowly.
