When I type stuff on a search engine, how do I set that when I start typing it comes up in a box below?

Question

(I think), similar wording to stuff I searched for before. It's if you're regularly looking for certain things, rather than typing it all out, it comes up on the screen similar things you typed before. How do I get this back again?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you are using google toolbar,right click on it and choose ' show suggestions'

Answer 2

If you're using Internet Explorer, follow these instructions:

1. On the Internet Explorer Tools menu, click Internet Options.

2: In the Internet Options box, click the Content tab, and click the AutoComplete button. The AutoComplete Settings box will appear

3. To turn AutoComplete on, click the boxes next to the types of information you want AutoComplete to remember.

For example, you can click the "Web addresses" box if you want AutoComplete to find quick matches for the Web sites that you type into the Internet Explorer Address Bar.

When you click an empty box, a check mark will appear to let you know that you have chosen to have AutoComplete remember that type of information.

4. If you don't want AutoComplete to remember user names and passwords, you can uncheck the box for User names and passwords on forms

UPDATE:

In Firefox, this option is available under Tools > Options:

Select the Tools menu, then choose Options.  

Click the Privacy tab

Under the choice "Remember what I enter in forms and the Search bar", make sure the box is checked.

That should do it!
