Hi Folks,
Is there a move to introduce a search engine for finding particular themed etfs other than just typing in a ticker symbol ?
Thanks Bill
@rabbie2 Great question Bill!
At the moment for the search, we index Name, Ticker, ISIN, the Description + names of the underlying holdings (Apple/Tesla etc.)…The algorithm should also pick up partial matches, to get around typos etc.
But these things always need to be tweaked and optimised.
I suspect we could do with improving some of our ETF descriptions, so Theme keywords are included.
(example Nasdaq ETFs - adding ‘Technology’ keyword for example)
It would be great to hear any specific examples you might have?
(We can update these very quickly / this coming week)

Longer-term I should also mention we also have another project in the works…
Better Search
- Show details on why a search result has been returned.
- Show underlying holding % on the search screen. So if you search for Microsoft you see the % holding next to each ETF.
- The ability to search for specific holding on the ETF & Analytics tabs…So you can easily search for exposure to an individual company.
(This project is still at the ideas stage - Do let us know if there's anything else you want to see)
