Would you really want the default behavior to be the I'm feeling lucky result?

I've gotten used to it, I convinced a couple other friends to try. 1 liked it. 1 hated it.

I thought I'd post it here too and see if anyone else liked/hated it, or if they had a slight modification suggestion that might be agreeable.

I find myself rewriting queries a lot more to be more specific, in the chrome toolbar.

And then I also start to remember those long specific queries. Using google as the old second memory bank there ... most of the time.

Personally i my self don't want the I'm Feeling Lucky result to be my default. +1.

This works quite well:

I have it as a keyword "lucky" (type lucky and press tab to use it), but you can just as easily make it the default search.

I think the only differences might be how insanely handles anchor links and video links.

I played with it a bit to get it to go the specific links I mean when I type in long queries. (clicking a video link if available up there, clicking an anchor link if available and emphasized with "jump to".)

Oh, another thing the plugin does is load the search page, so that backspace or back always takes you to search results.

I'm always feeling lucky. I think this will be great. Trying it out for a while to see how I like it.
