*** Update for any new viewers of this*** Might have narrowed down the issue to a problem with the autocomplete or autofill feature.  This is all in my admin portion of Civi - Joomla install. 

Hello - relatively new to civi.  Enjoying it quite a bit.  Definite learning curve.  Found answers to most things but here is one that is stumping me ... I am trying to create a Membership Type.  But when I try to associate an Organization with it as the Membership Organization, nothing shows up in my search. 
Further looking into this shows me that this is universal - if I want to create a relationship between an individual and an organization, I can't get an organization to pull up in my search.  There was one other instance, but I can't remember it off the top of my head.
The organization I'm trying to associate is definitely created as an organization and not an individual or household.  Just not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Anyone have this issue or can give me some direction?
Screen shot of what I'm seeing attached.
Thank you.

Please attach a bigger screenshot so that we can read it. (See http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,35166.0/topicseen.html for an example of what I mean.)

Thank you Joanne - appreciated feedback from a newbie.  Here are better screenshots.
Pete - tried to replicate the issue on demo site.
1.  Created a test organization same way I did on my site.
2.  Created a new membership type, searched for a membership organization, there it was on the demo site.
3.  Went back to my site and did same steps again just to check no matches found.
This is also contact type Organization, not a sub type.
Thanks guys.

Thanks for the reply.  Pete.  I did try WVSA instead.  Same thing.  You are correct.  It does feel like autocomplete is failing.  It does the same thing in the contact area.  If I want to create a relationship with the contact and an organization (contact is an employee of) none of my real or test organizations pull up in the autocomplete area.
Nothing else is failing so far in my set up.  All has been pretty straightforward.  Anything I had questions on, I found answers for so far.  This is the only thing stumping me.

Ahh - good thought.  Let me take a look.

Not sure I can help you further. If you can catalogue anything else that is not working on your install it might help someone else chip in. Also anything else such as have you done an upgrade, did this work before, any odd Joomla considerations etc.

Going for a reinstall sounds drastic but if you can fire up a new install separately and confirm if things are good on that one then it may help you identify what might be intefering.

That was a great question Joanne.  Thank you.  It was loaded into a joomla install with extensions and themes.  I spent the evening loading civicrm and joomla into a different domain with no extensions or themes, fresh install completely and ... same exact problem.  Is it a joomla thing?  Should I switch to drupal?  I can't believe I'm the only one out there with this problem ...

Thank you - I wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to put in there.  Not really my world of expertise.  It actually is Sql 5.5.  It was at 5.0 a couple of days ago, but I noticed while doing research that civicrm prefers 5.5, so I went through the process of upgrading to 5.5 and restoring my 5.0 database to the 5.5 version.
