Yes, this seemed to change after the last 'on site' search engine upgrade, and is annoying. You used to be able to search for three letter tickers. Mind you the 'search engine upgrade' was not for nought, because the number of search results went up from a maximum of 5 pages worth IIRC, to a lot more.

I have got around this problem by using Google and entering 'sharetrader' followed by the ticker I am after in the Google search field. I generally get to where I want to go following that procedure.
