Gee, this was the top hit in Google when I did a search on how to embed a hyperlink. I think it should be correct with that kind of ranking!

That comma should be a semi-colon? (With a space on either side?)

(example: =hyperlink(”www.tech-recipes.com” ; ”Tech-Recipes”)

FYI this works nicely:

=hyperlink(CONCAT("http://site.com/search/",A5),"Company Info")

In my example, column A holds company names. The above formula goes in column B.
Column B now displays the word "Company Info" hyperlinked to the search page on "site.com" with the appropriate company name in the search. Obviously this only works if site.com is set up that way, but the point is you can use CONCAT to construct your hyperlink URLs based on cells in your spreadsheet.

Thanks for the info!
