[SOLVED] google auto complete stopped working

ministock85 · 08-13-2011, 07:53 PM

i'm using mepis 8.5 and google auto complete stopped working. i go to the settings in google and set it for "use google instant" but it doesn't seem to stick. the only thing that could be a possible cause is i was trying to view a photo slideshow from a cd and thats when the google shut off. don't know if theres any correlation but thought i'd throw it in there
thanks
Pat

What browser are you using? Have you tried other browsers? Firefox, Konqueror, Chrome, Opera, etc.

i'm using iceweasel. i tried konqueror and it works there and it works in firefox so i guess i'll just use one of those. thanks for the idea. dumb ass me would have never thought of that. i was just focusing on fixing iceweasel

You probably switched off autocomplete in the settings somewhere. I'm not familiar with that browser, so I couldn't tell you where though.
