Actually, I don't know if auto complete is the right word. Recently, my ISP, CenturyTel, made a name switch to CenturyLink. Ever since then, I can't just type 'espn' and hit enter to go to espn.com (or any other site for that matter). In FF, you can type 'espn' and hit command and enter together and FF will put 'www' and '.com' on the beginning and end for you. Safari would just complete the URL for you and away you go. Now, it takes me CL's site for autosearch (example: Website Suggestions)

Is this a DNS thing? This just started happening about 2 weeks ago. I suppose I could live with it if there was an auto complete key combo in Safari that's like FF.
