Feeling Lucky Search Engine

Google Search is the Front page of the internet.

Seen by hundreds of millions of people daily, its design is influenced by simplicity and usability:

A search box, a search button and the less-frequently used Feeling Lucky button.

While overlooked by many, it can take power users to their desired destination instantly, saving valuable clicks and time.

Not everyone uses Google as the Search Engine of their choice. But they can still use the Feeling Lucky functionality.

At least they used to!

The URL many used in their search shortcuts, https://www.google.com/search?btnI=&q=%s, now takes users to a redirect confirmation screen.

Google's security-oriented intentions are certainly valid, yet they do limit power users.
