@gabesawhney and Hillary Lorimer have been leading user testing, and one small thing that came up repeatedly was the confusion over our "auto-complete" that they were seeing on the front page legislation search field.
Turns out that it's a helpful browser feature that is based on the form field "name" attribute. We chose to use "q", and so that's shared with many other forms (like google)
Seems that adding an "id" to the input tag doesn't actually resolve anything on FF -- only changing "name" value does that. That seems odd, as "q" is a very common querystring, and I would have thought this would come up elsewhere.
What about simply setting autocomplete="off"? It sucks to lose, but right now it's autocompleting with previous google searches, which is pretty confusing.

Any objection to changing this to something more unique, like "legislation-search"?
