Question: “When I go to google.com to do a search, I always see that button below the search box that says ‘I’m Feeling Lucky.’ I’ve even clicked on it before, but I really have no idea what it does or why it’s there. Can you please explain what’s up with this button? Thanks.”

Answer: When I first started using Google many years ago I asked myself the very same question, for the answer is far from obvious. Luckily though, the answer is an easy one.

If you click the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button instead of the “Google Search” button when you’re doing a search at www.google.com, you’ll simply skip the results page altogether and jump straight to whatever the No. 1 result was. That’s it. So only press the button if you are, indeed, feeling lucky.
