IE9 auto-complete from history does not search page title?

So in order to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking I am forced to use the hateful Internet explorer 9 which I cannot stand and it's so laggy compared to the competition.
Anyways, is there a way to have the same behavior for the auto complete function from history such as in Firefox?

Let me give a very quick example, in Firefox I can just type "Samsung"and it will show all the websites I have visited which have samsung in their title, and are sorted by number of visits. In my case it will show the notebookreview Samsung sub forum and I can just select it. Instead in IE9 I have to type the beginning of the URL "forum.note".... And it will show up. Of course this is highly impractical as I can't remember URLs

Has anybody run into the same problem? I checked all the settings I can't seem to find a solution, maybe there is not.

 

Not a clue why you and others are complaining about IE9 being "slow" or "laggy'. Here on my machine it is at least as fast, and typically marginally faster than any of the competitors. [Shrug...]

Again, I'm not sure why you see what you are reporting here. I start typing "wind...", and up comes "Windows OS and Software", this very forum here. However, note that the title of the forum does start with "Wind...". If I try typing "soft...", then I won't get the forum listed. However, if I start typing "*soft...", then "Windows OS and Software" again is listed.

P.S.: I just visited that Samsung forum you referred to, then went back to my home page and started typing "Sams...", and up comes the Samsung forum page you want. It is conceivable, however, that one of the add-ons I have is providing this functionality. You might want to check if any of this is helpful.

 

I too can't stand IE. I don't even have a shortcut to it. I can't run extensions or scripts. Fonts are fuzzy with no way to fix it. Firefox has fuzzy fonts but I can tweak a setting to fix it. I have Firefox as my default browser but I also use Chrome too. I do hate it when I try to run certain programs and they want to open them up in IE which stinks.

 

I tried what you guys suggested, it is just not working, in my history I have maybe 10 pages that have samsung in the title, if i go to favorites and search the history they come up. Also the "*soft" does not bring up anything even if I have many websites that have that string in both title/url.
Is there a particular setting or an update I missed? I have the 9.0.8112.1642.

 

you almost won some rep . So it was unckecked, but it's greyed out, so I can't check it. If I unckeck/check address bar then it opens up and I can check it but it doesn't stay checked.

i have indexing turned off, lets see if that has something to do with it.

 

so yes! that was the culprit. my indexing service/windows search was turned off. I turned on indexing and now it works and the option can be cheked in the menu.

I just think this makes no sense because it forces me to keep indexing turned on.

 

The only thing that does not make sense in this story is you having turned indexing off. There is no reason, none at all, to turn this off, but there are a lots of reasons to leave it turned on. You just found out one of them.
