Users can search for references to a particular symbol, company name, ETF name, chart pattern, indicator or support issue. The example below shows some results when searching the term “energy”. By default, everything with the term “energy” appears in the results. Users can further focus their search by clicking the various headings at the top. Each heading also comes with an associated icon. For example, the “CS” icon refers to the ChartSchool and the “MM” icon refers to the Market Message, which is premium content ($).
