Firefox developers felt lucky We fiercely debated whether to conduct a traditional Google search or Google's I'm Feeling Lucky search as the default search method for the Location Bar. All other browsers at the time conducted normal searches, but the Firefox development team eventually decided that the benefits of an I'm Feeling Lucky search far out-weighed the break with consistency. Two benefits in particular motivated our decision: Many of us on the Firefox team share a strong (if naive) desire to rid the world of the arcane site addressing system. We believe http://www.fordvehicles.com/ is a ridiculous bunch of gibberish that no sane human being should ever have to remember. What was that address again? Ford.com? Fordtrucks.com? Ford-vehicles.com? Or was there no dash? And what does all that http:// stuff mean, anyway? Did somebody's cat walk across the keyboard? This addressing system is just one of the many painful reminders that the Internet was originally designed for military officials, scientists, and other similarly technical crowds. Choosing the I'm Feeling Lucky search as the default search method in Firefox's Location Bar, then, was our first tentative step toward bypassing this arcane addressing system. Instead of having to remember an address, you simply have to remember a couple keywords that describe what you're looking for and have faith that Google and Firefox will find it for you. For example, instead of worrying about whether there's a dash in http://www.fordvehicles.com/, you can type "Ford trucks", "Ford vehicles", "Ford SUVs", "Ford cars", or even "Ford vehicle info" and be on your way. Or take the example of the horror flick The Ring: Is the site address http://www.thering.com, theringmovie.com, or the-ring. com? Actually, it's none of those. It's http://www.ring-themovie.com. But if you have trouble remembering that, just type the ring into the Location Bar and press Enter. The Location Bar is very much a place of action, whereas combing through search results is traditionally a more casual and longer-term approach. Internet surfers are all accustomed to using the address bar to get somewhere quickly, and the other developers and I wanted to uphold that.   Searching from the Location Bar Firefox allows advanced users to search the Web from the Location Bar - the box in which you typically enter the address of a Web site to visit. This can be useful if, for example, you have hidden the Search Box to conserve space. Simple searching with Location Bar keywords At the simplest level, searching from the Location Bar requires no additional work on your part. If you enter a series of keywords into the box and press Enter (or click Go), Firefox automatically treats the phrase as a search request. Unlike a traditional search, however, you don't see a list of relevant Web sites. Instead, Firefox automatically takes you to the page that most likely contains what you're looking for. Firefox does this neat trick by using Google's I'm Feeling Lucky technology, which automatically redirects you to the very first Google search result for your search phrase.
