Some people are gonna be really really happy they felt lucky.

Wow, now that I think about it for a moment, I realized no one ever feels lucky these days. As soon as the search bar on Google's homepage is filled, the form is auto submitted.




I feel lucky all the time. You can change your search settings so that this doesn't happen. Kind of strange that they even show the Feeling Lucky button when this feature is enabled though. You can also use I'm Feeling Lucky via the URL by adding the query parameter btnI

ie. for the query "How Many People Are In Space Right Now"

google.com/search?q=How+Many+People+Are+In+Space+Right+Now&btnI


I think you posted to the wrong thread. (What thread were you trying to post to?)


He's referring to the fact that the URL is in spoken question form. So people going to Google and querying "How Many People Are In Space Right Now" and using the I'm Feeling Lucky search will be brought directly to the site.
