If you want to do a “Feeling Lucky” search from Google Chrome post haste, I’ve got a great trick for you.  Check this out:

Fewer clicks, happier browsing.

Here’s how to do it:

1) Create a custom search engine in Chrome:
1

2) Add the search engine with these properties:
2
URL: http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&btnI=Im+Feeling+Lucky

3) Enjoy!!

&btnI= is enough.

And you'd better use special Chrome variables. I don't know for sure, but i believe they put it there for good.

So, the final URL would be:
{google:baseURL}search?{google:RLZ}{google:acceptedSuggestion}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}sourceid=chrome&ie={inputEncoding}&q=%s&btnI=

yup, that's right. No http:// prefix. It's in {google:baseURL} variable.
