I’m Feeling Lucky for Opera!

Mozilla Firefox users are lucky to have this functionality integrated in their address bar, which enables them to visit the first site of Google for a keyword when the user does not put in a valid website address.

Now, UserJS.org brings to you similar functionality by using a UserJS script which is so cool! The script has been developed by Nicolas Mendoza and requires at least Opera 8.0 to work. The site describes this UserJS as:

If the page cannot be found, this script forwards the content of the address bar to the I’m Feeling Lucky ™ search feature from Google. This behavior can be changed to use any other service.

The more I hear about Opera, the more I consider changing over to it. It seems like I only hear good things about it.

With a modern opera you can also add a search engine to the preferences with the following address:
http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=%s&btnI=Iï·27m+Feeling+Lucky&meta=7

With a key like IFL, you can just enter the following in the address bar:

ifl search_string
