Google Finance Vs. Yahoo Finance

For a long time, I didn't see much value in Google Finance, but lately, one tiny feature has been proving helpful.  See, while I work, I come across lots of different company names that I've never heard of, and I'm often curious to see whether they're public or not (particularly international ones, that I'm not so familiar with).  Now, I could go to Yahoo Finance and do a name search, or I could just go to Google Finance and start typing the name in, at which point it will give me autofill suggestions and automatically let me know whether or not there's an accompanying ticker.  It's a small thing, but it's actually pretty huge.  And the fact that Yahoo has its ticker search and its name search in separate boxes, after all this time, seems downright negligent.

..yeah, GF went from sucking so bad I "applied" for a job with them (in lieu of writing a purely-ignored email critique) to being almost useful.

The day they add options, futures and such is the day I throw over YF.

Not yet, that is..
