Can I change Google Chrome to predict my search AND visit the first result instantly?


enter image description here




  1. Will it be possible to set up Chrome (with a custom search engine, a userscript, or an extension) so that when I type "angelman s" on the Omnibox, it will suggest "angelman syndrome" and go right away to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelman_syndrome (the first result for such a search)?




  2. Otherwise, will it be possible to set up Chrome so that default omnibar searches are "I'm Feeling Lucky" searches? That is, typing "fb [enter]" will take me to http://www.facebook.com/ .





Answer



2. I'm Feeling Lucky:


Download and install the Google SSL search extension and click Add as Search Engine (or whatever it's called).


When the box comes up, immediately before the part that says &q=, add &btnI. Now add the search engine, and it will search I'm Feeling Lucky on Google SSL.


Bonus:


If you also add &gnfs, it wil only take to to the website if the results are "good enough". Otherwise, it just shows you search results! :)


In the end, mine looks like this:



https://encrypted.google.com/search?{google:RLZ}{google:acceptedSuggestion}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}sourceid=chrome&ie={inputEncoding}&btnI&gnfs&q=%s



Why do I need the SSL search engine?


It's probably the easiest way. You can't modify the built-in Google search engine, so adding a new one is much easier.
