Ask HN: Is “I'm feeling lucky” feature still there?

2 points by graposaymaname 7y ago ↗ HN

I pretty much remember confirming one article which reported that google had removed this feature completely from their search page with instant search.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Search#%22I'm_Feeling_Lucky%22

But today I could go to google.com, search facebook and use the same old feature to go directly into the page.

It may lose "potential revenue" bypassing the advertisements on google page, but the fact that it gives relevant (sometimes) fast searched for a topic is a great product imho.

I believe for a while when you typed something in, Google Instant would start Googling things for you and show the results.
