Auto Complete & Auto Search
The auto complete option never has worked for me since IE 5.0. Except
Passwords I have all the other check boxes checked and when I submit forms it does not remember the values for every text bo like Mozilla. Also another cool feature IE can/should provide is the auto search capability on the webpage. Instead of CTLF + F and then search for text, Mozilla has a feature where you can just start typing any search text and it will automatically scroll to that text if found on the webpage. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Re: Auto Complete & Auto Search
Hi Uttam,
You will find that there are addons for these features in IE. Tools>Manage Addons.... click on the 'Download new add-ons for Internet Explorer' link at the bottom of the dialog. It is strange that your autofill does not work, but at a pinch there is a freeware version of RoboForm that is quite good. You will find a free inline search explorer bar that is a substitute for the Mozilla inline search for IE at the IE7 Addons marketplace website.
