I wish Google would integrate "I'm feeling lucky" into Chrome. For example, I Google "bootstrap" a few times every weekday. I know Google's first result will be correct. I'd love to be able to shift-enter or something in chrome after entering a search term to skip the Google SERP entirely.

In Firefox I can create a bookmark to https://www.google.com/search?btnI=lucky&q=java+6+%s https://www.google.com/search?btnI=lucky&q=java+6+%s with the keyword set to jd then by typing (say) "jd Collections" in the address bar I get directed to the first Google result for "java 6 collections" I gather you can emulate a similar behavior in Chrome using its 'edit search engines' function.

  That's pretty awesome, and it works exactly the same way in Chrome. I just modified the concept for my own use by making a custom search engine for https://www.google.com/search?btnI=lucky&q=%s+site:developer.mozilla.org+docs linked to the keyword "mdn". So I can type "mdn settimeout" or "mdn border radius" and I'll be taken to the respective pages!

    As a rather shameless plug, using DDG allows you to do the exact same thing if you add an exclamation mark without even having to make a custom search engine.

      DDG = duckduckgo.com (some of us who've been reading HN for a long time probably know this, but I imagine that the majority of readers doesn't)

Type the full domain a few times and it will start defaulting to the domain instead of a search.

I have a keyword search set to l, so I do "l bootstrap" and it goes to the first result.

I don't know why, but when I type "google.de" in the address bar, hit TAB, enter my search term and hit ENTER, it sends me directly to the first search result. Doesn't work with .com though...
