I just updated to the latest version (35.0) and can't get drop down menu. I couldn't get it in the last version either. I've filled everything out in the change settings page but still can't figure out how to get my choices to show up. (Please keep answers simple--I'm not a computer geek but I can follow clear directions.)

Kathy99 said I see it now. Thank you, Phillip. I read the help page before, but I think it would help if that page pointed out that the options you have selected will appear at the bottom of the list of suggestions after you type a search in the box. Also that would have been clearer if I did not select give suggestions. The key point for my understanding was that I had to type a search first in order to get the options to appear, which is the opposite of how it worked before. Definitely fix that help page to make that part clear. And thanks again, so much.
