  I learned that I can perform a search for Exchange Traded Funds (ETFS) with the phrase "show etfs", but are we able to search for indices and holders (like the SMH, RTH etc.)?
 
 Additionally, when I performed a Backtest for my ETF search, and I tried to view the results (Backtest Summary), it gave me the following message: "Equity Summary does not support short backtesting". How do I get around this error message? What does it mean?

  (from the SF forums)
 
 Currently StockFetcher only carries a limited number of indices. Below are the symbols:
 
 ^DJI - Dow Industrials
 ^DJT - Dow Transport Index
 ^DJU - Dow Utility Index
 ^IXIC - Nasdaq Composite
 ^NDX - Nasdaq 100
 ^OEX - S&P 100
 ^SPX - S&P 500
 ^RUA - Russell 3000 Index
 
 I believe "holders" have to be put into a watchlist.
