I didn't get a drop-down arrow the next time I logged into search. I tried looking up a word, then finding the page pointed to. Then I re-opened Google search and there was no drop-down. Is there a step I am missing?

I see. Well, I went into the tools option to try to find the Auto-complete feature and I saw the "forms" was not ticked but two other fields were ticked on. I did not set up my system. Is there a particular reason that the "forms" should not be ticked on?

It worked as soon as I typed in the first couple of letters. That's very interesting. Thanks all. I've decided to become a little more computer-savvy so I like appreciate these types of tips.
