Next best thing: use search prefixes. Merge this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerSearchUrl=]

@="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s&btnI=I'm+Feeling+Lucky"

" "="+"

"+"="%2B"

"%"="%25"

"&"="%26"

...then you can get the most likely site by typing this in the address bar:

= searchterm

(searchterm is your search term)

I've been trying to get that for ages... I think that the "Search Page" key in HKCU...IEMain has something to do with it, but I can't get it working :(

I think the best thing to do would be to make your homepage Google.com, and search like that, since the I'm Feeling Lucky option @ Google ISN'T 100% accurate ALL the time [AFAIK, since I don't ever use that option anyways lol] :D

well this is good for ppl too lazy to type full extensions or addresses of a site they already kno of and has a good amount of popularity, like lockergnome. thats why i use it, to be lazy ^_^
