Autocomplete in web addressess

February 20th, 2006 @ Meenu Gupta


To help eliminate errors in typing and speed up the tedious process of typing in URLs in your Web browser, Windows employs a feature called AutoComplete. This nifty feature looks at whatever few characters of the URL address you type in the Address bar and, based on them, attempts to match them to one of the complete addresses that are stored in the Address bar drop-down list. To visit any one of the pages listed in the Address bar drop-down list, click that name in the drop-down list. Internet Explorer then enters the complete URL address of the Web site you clicked in the Address bar and automatically displays the page.
