What is the design problem you're coming up against?

My gut feel on this is that the affordance that announces auto-complete
functionality is the text box to type in.  Once a person starts typing in a
text box with auto-complete, the auto-complete suggestions are displayed.

Is there a situation where you'd like your users to be able to differentiate
between text boxes with auto-complete and those without?
