Hello!
This is a really simple but very useful tutorial that most of you might already know. For those that don't, here's how to do it:
{The instructions in curly brackets are for the extremely few Mac users.}
1. Fire up Opera and hit '
Ctrl + F12' {'Command + ,'}, or navigate to '
Tools >> Preferences...' {'Opera >> Preferences...'}.
2. Click on the '
Search' tab.
3. Click on '
Add...'.
4. In the dialog box that appears, enter something in the '
Name' textbox (I use 'Google - I'm Feeling Lucky').
5. In the '
Keyword' field, you can enter anything that is not already used (I use 'ifl').
6. Copy and paste this in the '
Address' field:
Code:
http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=%s&btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&meta=
7. Now, you enable the 'Use an default search engine' checkbox if you want to, well - use it as the default search engine.
This means it will appear in the place of Google in the search field on the right of the address bar.
8. Click on '
OK' and then again on '
OK' (or hit 'Return' or 'Enter' twice).
9. Now enter '
ifl ' (note the space) followed by whatever you want to run an 'I'm Feeling Lucky' search on.
Here's a screenshot of what the 'Search Engine' preferences should look like when you are through with it:
If you did not know what this 'I'm Feeling Lucky' is all about, here's an explanation straight from the horse's mouth:
Quote:
The "I'm Feeling Lucky™" button takes you directly to the first web page Google returned for your query. You will not see the other search results at all. An "I'm Feeling Lucky" search means you spend less time searching for web pages and more time looking at them.
For example, to find the homepage for Stanford University, simply enter Stanford into the search field and click on the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. Google takes you directly to "www.stanford.edu", the official homepage of Stanford University.

There, you're done.
