Address bar autocomplete question

I'm running WXP SP2 with IE6 on a freshly reinstalled OS from HP's "full
system recovery to original system" type disks.

Previously, at some point when I used Google's advanced search
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en, the address bar auto complete
dropdown list had something like "Google Advanced Search" from the title of
that web page. I liked it in that it was the first item in the list when I
type goo in the address bar.

On this fresh reinstallation of the OS, that "Google Advanced Search" item
is not being set up in the auto complete dropdown. How can I force it to be
there? What is it that puts things other than a URL in that address bar
dropdown?
