I use the Symbol Search mechanism to determine the underlying equity for options. For example, if I have a symbol "AQU BE", I send the command:
SOS,AQU_BE
and get back: AQU_BE AEOS FEB 2006 C 25.0
Which is super useful. The problem is with index options. If I enter: SOS,RZA_NM
I get back: RZA_NM OEX FEB 2006 P 565.0
Which is okay, except the DTN symbol is OEX.XO, not OEX.
It would seem only logical that the lookup should be reversible. An option lookup on RZA_NM giving me OEX should allow me to do an option chain lookup on OEX and get the RZA_NM option.

This is a known deficiency that we haven't gotten to yet. We will look into accelerating the fix.
