The I'm feeling lucky" search is the default function for typing a non-url into the address bar in Firefox. I use it a lot for things where I know the right page is the first hit but can't remember the url and don't use it enough to make a button because it's often faster than bookmarking it. For instance, if you type mta it'll take you to the NYC MTA page which has subway info and metro noth/lirr schedules. The actual address is like mta.nyc.something...

I kind've know what you're saying, I just type

wik blah blah or
tube blah blah

to get searches on those sites in the URL bar. I just never click the Lucky button on Google.
