    Hi !

    Copy / Paste can't be coding …

    "lsb-ib" does not exist in the code page ‼
    So first within your webbrowser inspector tool, find out the search box ID …

    Hello and thanks for replying,

    I have done that and tried every ID I could find with no results. I am not experienced with any of this which does not help either.

    <input placeholder="Search ticker, company or profile" value="" class="" data-reactid=".0.0.0" type="text">

    is what appears to be the line of code that might have the ID but I have tried everything I can think of and nothing happens.

    So instead of trying to manipulate home page, easier is to directly call ticker's page !
