cdev16288yNever. Not even once have I clicked that button. And I have been working on the interwebz since 2001. Maybe one day, I am feeling lucky. Then I will click that button.

DotM8298y@KnightsOfCode It takes you to the first search result without making you go through the results page(s). Basically it does "what you're looking for is in the first result, so here you go"
Sometime over the past few years :p
For me it may be the power button when I need to turn my computer off though 😛 nowadays I just alt+f4 when I want to turn it off, to lazy to get the mouse there and click. Actually had to use it yest, but on a colleague's computer, because hers for some reason opened the "screen sharing" options menu 😐 I don't even remember the last time I had to use it on mine though -
Rahkiin68yI use it all the time. I configured my omnibox to the Feeling Lucky. So if I type 'imdb civil war' i go directly to the avengers movie.
Google knows what I want and I know how to tell google.
I prefix searches with a 'g' if I want to search instead. -
Last time I used that was for "French military victories", so I'd get redirected to the Google-clone hosted on albinoblacksheep.com, which read "did you mean French military *defeats*?"

It 'used' to take users to the first result. Ever since autocomplete was introduced, it just rolls around like a slot machine on mouse hovers and suggests a random topic for you to google!

Google's "I'm feeling lucky" instead of search 🙈 When did you honestly press that button last time?
