- strictnein 11y agoMy first snarky response was: "Do they also track beef prices?" But yes, they do (sort of): http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Beef-prices http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Beef-prices But then I wondered if those pages were auto-generated, so I tried other things: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Taco-prices http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Taco-prices Ok, how about non-food: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Obama-prices http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Obama-prices Yeah, it's kind of free form: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Why-Am-I-A-Pickle http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Why-Am-I-A-Pickle The first time you specify something unique, it takes a little bit to load, but then it's caching it.
