Stocks: How to add Dow Jones Index?

This is quite strange.
After clicking the + sign and typing 'dow' in Yahoo Finance, there isn't a listing for the Dow Jones Index. The closest is the Industrial Average.
How do I add it?

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index is automatically on there, but the symbol is ^DJI

Stewie Grif.,

The iPhone gets the stock information from Yahoo's data feeds. If you are in doubt what symbol to use for an index or a specific fund, searching for it on Yahoo Finance will give you the symbol to use.

Hope this helps,

I live in the UK, so I have FTSE by default, and not Dow Jones.
I just figured it out now. Instead of typing 'dow' in the search, I'd need to type 'indu' - got this another site.
