Using the Im Feeling Lucky Button

Using the I’m Feeling Lucky Button

The I’m Feeling Lucky feature is one of Google’s unique attributes. What this feature does is bypass the search results page and takes you directly to the first Web page that Google returns from your query.

For example: When you type golden retriever and click I’m Feeling Lucky, Google points your browser to the American Kennel Club’s Golden Retriever page, where you find information about this breed.

Tip 

Use the I’m Feeling Lucky button only for very specific topic searches.

You can find the I’m Feeling Lucky button on Google’s home page. You can also find it when using the Google Toolbar by clicking the little down arrow next to the keyword search box to open the drop-down menu. You can then select I’m Feeling Lucky, as shown in Figure 1.5. The browser navigates to the Web page that most closely matches your keyword search.

Figure 1.5: Select I’m Feeling Lucky from the drop-down menu on Google’s Toolbar.
