Up until a few days ago, my installation of Chrome would offer autocomplete suggestions in website search boxes and other data entry fields based on what I had previously typed in those boxes. Either by starting to type, or just clicking on a data entry field, a list of past entries would drop down from the data entry box.
When Chrome started acting a bit wonky, I cleared the browsing history and everything else it had a checkbox to clear. After that, even after manually typing things into those boxes on various sites, Chrome would no longer offer an autocomplete drop down list from those boxes. It would still offer suggestions on Google but not on other sites that it used to.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome. HUGE mistake. The latest interactive Chrome installer from Google will no longer install Chrome on Vista. I had to get the last full standalone Chrome installer from a third-party site to install Chrome again.
I have Chrome back now, but it still does not autocomplete from past entries in data entry boxes. I have tried researching how to fix this. I have autofill turned on, but apparently that's not the right option as it hasn't restored the autocomplete functionality I was used to on any site besides Google's search page.
How can I restore autocomplete or saved form data entry suggestions?
