Damnit, I just posted about that. That'll teach me for not reading through all the comments. So many comments.
Re: Putting "Search" into Google yields a surprising result
#113A few years back, Sergey and Larry were on NPR's Fresh Air. At one point in the interview, Terry Gross says "I tried searching for 'Google' by putting 'Google' into the search box and clicking I'm Feeling Lucky, but it didn't seem to do anything." Larry tries to explain what happened, but it seemed to go over Terry's head. At one point during the explanation I think Sergey mentioned recursion, and Terry asks "Recur-w…
I wanted to try it, but there seems to be no way to use the "im feeling lucky" button any more. Its on the home page, but as soon as I type something it dissapears.
Is the button only a decoration now?

#114What's even funnier, if you click on "I'm Feeling Lucky", you are automatically transferred to Bing.
It would be nice if they would prepopulate Bing search box with search query.

Continue tying; you get a hanging drop-down box at the top with suggestions. Hover over the search term and you get the "I'm feeling lucky" button.

#117Earlier quoted context omitted.
I agree that it looks better with two buttons, though I can't quite articulate why.
this is so because we instinctively feel unbalanced when we see a single legged object rather than a two legged one. we'd feel similarly unbalanced if the two legs (the buttons) were of very different widths.
Unless you manage to lay meaning into the specifi difference of the widths. For instance making the 'coke' button larger than the 'coke diet' button to express that 'coke' gives you the standard/baseline type.

Side note: With results-as-you-type now being the default even from the Google front page, isn't "I'm feeling lucky" a totally vestigial button at this point?
Isn't the Search button useless as well? :D I suppose the only reason either is there is familiarity...

The 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button just redirects you to the top result doesn't it?
