![]() ![]() Here’s how you would use it: https: //duckduckgo. DuckDuckGo (a competing search engine) provides the same functionality as Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” button. ![]() When using visibilityofanyelementslocated it will use. When using visibilityofelementlocated it will use findelement and it will get the element that is not visible. The reason is that the selector finds two elements. If you are running into this issue, Lorenzo Alali pointed me to this topic on the Alfred Forums where a workaround is discussed. I suggest to use visibilityofanyelementslocated over visibilityofelementlocated. Google doesn’t seem to have any documentation to support this API in the first place. While, all of the examples in this post have worked so far, here’s an example of one that doesn’t work: http: //Instead of redirecting you to the first search result, the regular Google results are shown. This seems to work for some queries, but not all. If Microsoft changes the way you enable JavaScript, you don’t have to keep your users updated or change the web form you created Google will still return the top result as if the user searched for “enable JavaScript Internet Explorer.” Caveat Using this method will always harness the power of using Google to decide the most relevant page. Similarly, if the user entered “Internet Explorer”, your form can redirect them to: search?q= enable+javascript+internet+explorer&btnIĭemo: Enable JavaScript in Internet Explorer Other Advantages If the user inputs “firefox” and submits the form, you can have your app/page redirect to: search?q= enable+javascript+firefox&btnI In 2012, Google changed the way I’m Feeling Lucky worked every time you hover the mouse over the button, the label changes to other expressions like (I’m Feeling Adventurous, I’m Feeling Puzzled, I’m Feeling Astronomical, and so on), which directs users to one of Google’s many secondary services when clicked. You can ask users which browser they are using in a text input. Please note that the last letter is a capital “i”. With &btnI appended to the end, Google takes you directly to the top result for the search term (which is, in this case, “term”). If you omit it, Google just returns a regular results page. The URL structure is: http: //The most important part of the URL is &btnI. A quicker way would be to ask the person which browser they are using (through a text input), do a Google search and take them to the site listed as the top result. The long way would be to list out instructions for the most popular browsers. Say I want to show someone how to enable JavaScript in their browser but I don’t know which browser they are using. In other words, you can simulate doing a Google search for the person and returning the top result. Some of the pages still get used and now I want to make them available on my blog.Ĭreating a link that uses the I’m Feeling Lucky feature enables you to link people directly to a page that can help them. Before 2012, when I accessed the same pieces of code or general information multiple times, I would write a quick HTML page for my own reference and put it on a personal site. This post is part of a project to move my old reference material to my blog.
