Instructions
Find the NSE/BSE ticker symbol for a company by name or partial name. Use this first whenever you know a company's name but not its exact Yahoo Finance ticker, before calling any other tool here.
Filters Yahoo's global search results down to Indian-listed equities
only -- a plain name search otherwise mixes in US ADRs, other
exchanges, and non-equity instruments (ETFs, futures).
Two things worth knowing: (1) a company that demerged can have
multiple current tickers for what feels like one name -- e.g.
"Tata Motors" correctly returns two separate post-split entities
(commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles); don't assume a single
match is right without checking `name`/`industry`. (2) a renamed
company won't be found under its old name at all -- e.g. "Zomato"
returns zero matches since the company renamed to "Eternal Limited";
an empty result doesn't necessarily mean the company isn't listed, so
try the company's current/formal name before concluding that.
:param query: company name or partial name, e.g. "Reliance", "Tata Consultancy Services"
:param limit: max number of matches to return (default 10)
