Fewer clicks, happier browsing.
Here’s how to do it:
1) Create a custom search engine in Chrome: 
2) Add the search engine with these properties: 
URL: http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&btnI=Im+Feeling+Lucky

&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.
