IE autocomplete standard page

Firefox will remember what I typed into fields on my standard pages and a custom search box.  For some reason IE will not remember anywhere in salesforce, but will on some other sites.  Autocomplete is enabled in IE, so it seems to be related to salesforce pages only.  Any ideas of what to look for?  What brought this up was a user complaining that the custom sidebar search box wasn't autocompleting.

 

<form action="/search/SearchResults?searchType=2&amp;search=Search&amp;asPhrase=1&amp;sen=001&amp;sen=003&amp;sen=500&amp;sen=a27&amp;sen=a29&amp;sen=a1s&amp;sen=00a&amp;sen=00T&amp;sen=002&amp;sen=00P&amp;sen=00O&amp;sen=005&amp;sen=a0A&amp;sen=a1r" method="post" name="advsrch" autocomplete="on"><input class="searchTextBox" maxlength="80" name="sbstr" +"*"="" size="18" value="" type="search">&nbsp;<input value=" Go! " class="btn" type="submit"></form>

Hi,
This is not a standard salesforce behavior, this is something to be taken care by browser. As you said Autocomplete setting is enabled on IE, please verify once following standard settings, supported by salesforce for IE:

 

Tools | Internet Options:
 
General Tab
1. From the General tab, click Settings under Browsing History
2. For the Check for newer versions of stored pages option, select "every time I visit the webpage".
3. For the Disk space to use option, enter at least 50 MB.
 

Security Tab
1. From the Security tab, click Custom Level under Internet and scroll to the Scripting section.
2. Make sure the Active Scripting option is enabled. JavaScript depends on this setting being enabled.
 
Privacy Tab
1. From the Privacy tab, click Advanced.
2. Select the Override automatic cookie handling option.
3. Select the Always allow session cookies option.
 
Advanced Tab
From the Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section and do the following:
1. Do not select the Do not save encrypted pages to disk option.
2. Select the Use SSL 3.0 option.
