Default Drop down window problem?

Not sure how to explain this but, i'm running XP, while browsing with IE in
say, a yahoo search, when i type something into the search bar, example:
(help) then later on insted of typing the word (help) again i just want to
double click the empty search field and get that dropdown window with the
word (help) in it, like win98 does? I can't seem to find any settings on
this, or, does'nt xp allow this feature? My IE settings on both systems are
set the same under tools/options. Everytime i visit my ebay or any other
sites i have to keep typing in my username and so on, i'd appreciate any
help, thanks!

Hi,

It's autocomplete.
Look for it in Internet Options/Content tab
