Quick answer: No. The best example is Google's I'm feeling lucky button, which a very high percrntage of users don't use. But turns out people still want this feature. Marissa Meyer had a discussion about this.
- AgentConundrum 15y agoMore people use "I'm Feeling Lucky" than probably realize it. I don't know how it is today since I've got so much stuff wired directly to keywords on my install now, but it used to be that if you typed a non-URL into Firefox's address bar, it would run an "I'm Feeling Lucky" Google search for you. I think they changed it a few versions back, but many people (myself included) messed with the 'about:config' page and got it back. HTTPS-Everywhere seems to mess with this though. I should fix that.
- esrauch 15y agoWhether you want an "I'm feeling lucky" button is completely independent of whether you can have a browser feature that does a similar thing (though I just checked and it looks like the default for chrome is to direct you to a full search)
