I'm Feeling Lucky in Standard Browser Search

Once upon a time, when the mountains were taller and the trees were greener, in browsers the search in the address bar worked as it was right: he used the Google function I'm Feeling Lucky. You could easily enter “habr” instead of “habrahabr.ru”, introducing “San Francisco”, you immediately got to the site of this city on Wikipedia (after all, you wanted to go there, right?), But the phrase “php in_array” instantly threw you to the documentation on this function, in the syntax of which you once again forgot, needle or haystack comes first.

But then Google realized that $ 110 million per year, which they lose due to the fact that no one showed you advertisements for these requests, is prohibitively much, and by default browsers do not want to show us all the telepathic search magic I'm Feeling Lucky, but instead demonstrate the intermediate link of the search page, on which you don't care as always, click on the first link immediately (where else could Wikipedia be?), But they looked at the advertisement and conscientiously reduced the advertiser CTR.

Mozilla firefox


about: config → look for “keyword.URL”, set the value http://www.google.com/search?btnI=1&sourceid=navclient&hl=en&q=

Google chrome


Right-click on the address bar → Search engines → Add a default search with the following URL: {google: baseURL} search? {Google: RLZ} {google: acceptedSuggestion} {google: originalQueryForSuggestion} {google: searchFieldtrialParameter} {google: instantFieldTrialGroupParameter} sourceid = chrome & ie = {inputEncoding} & q =% s & btnI = 1

Opera


Tools → General Settings (Ctrl + F12) → Search → In Google Search, add the & btnI = 1 parameter to the end.

And yes - it’s better to still have two input fields in the upper browser panel, one for the address and a happy search, the other for the usual search.
