I have an issue with the Autocomplete caching on version 1.8.17+. 

 

On 2 of my client's machines when they type a term in the Autocomplete box a second, third, etc. time nothing comes back or is shown.  I cannot reproduce this issue on my machine but I can tell using Fiddler 2 that no request is made on a term that has been typed second or more times.   My client's machine's are older and they seem to have a relatively slow intranet connection.  They are using IE 8.0 and if requested I can provide the version of IE 8.0.

 

I resolved this issue on one of the Autocomplete boxes on the page by adding the current time as a query parameter to my service request.  I have 3 other Autocomplete boxes that also have the time stamped query parameter but for some reason this does not force a request.  These 3 other autocomplete boxes are not returned as part of the page's original post back but instead are made visible after a visit date is selcted from a drop down.

 

Any advice?  A senior developer on my team mentioned that browser plug-ins could be to blame which i will gladly explore but wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas before I start taking some things away from my clients.
