Posted by Matthew Simmons, Market Data Gnome We've just added support to Google Finance for Taiwan Stock Exchange listings. In addition to news and descriptive data (which we already offer for these listings), you'll now see intra-day data and pretty charts. You can search for companies by name using the search box. You can also search by ticker -- for example, if you'd like to find the current price for stock in MediaTek, you can search for it by name , as 2454.TW , or as TPE:2454 . Similarly, if you'd like to find the current price for stock in Cathay Financial, you can search for it by name , as 2882.TW , or as TPE:2882 . The TAIEX can be found as .TWII or ^TWII . As always, if you find any problems, please let us know .

The search is completely live -- no buttons to press.
