Abstract
A system generates a ticker result, which may be a uniform resource locator (URL) corresponding to a quote provider. The system receives a string of information and determines whether all terms in the string of information correspond to ticker symbols. If all terms in the string of information correspond to ticker symbols, the system may ascertain whether the string of information corresponds to a query for ticker information. If the string of information corresponds to a query for ticker information, the ticker information (e.g., a ticker result) may be provided.
