Feel Lucky, Wonderful, Trendy, Playful, Stellar, Hungry etc. with Google.

Google has replaced the decade old “I am feeling lucky” button on the Google home page with a button which changes text when you hover over it to “I am feeling wonderful”, “I am feeling hungry” etc. Each of these adjectives gives you a different search result.

The very familiar “I am feeling lucky” button since its introduction would skip the search result and redirect your browser to the first page on the search result. This feature was made redundant after Google learnt to peep into your mind and predict what you were thinking with the Google instant feature couple of years ago. Google instant would start displaying results as soon as you have entered the first letter and would keep updating as you keep typing the rest of your query.

If you keen on trying this new feature, you will have to go to the google.com website as this feature is not available on to the regional Google pages like google.ae or google.co.in etc. To force your browser to stick to the google.com page and not redirect you to the regional page type in http://www.google.com/ncr in the address bar. Now if you hover the mouse over the “I am feeling lucky” button it would change to one of the new variants of this button. Each of the new adjectives delivers a different result which in most cases is using a different Google application or project.

I am feeling hungry button would display you a list of restaurants close to your location. If you have used http://www/google.com/ncr the results would not be accurate as you have asked Google to ignore your location and use the .com website.

I am feeling trendy button would show you the hot searches on Google relevant to your location.

I am feeling artistic takes you, to the Google Art Project. The page doesn’t like the fact that you are using IE and suggests you use Google Chrome.

I am feeling wonderful takes, you to the World Wonders Project.

I am feeling Puzzled takes, one to the Google a day website.

And so on… If you are feeling adventurous fire up your browser and try this new Google feature.
