    could be worse!

    it sure doesn't do anybody any harm, and occasionally saves some time.

    and ok, yes, I am feeling lucky.

    Feeling Lucky

    by David

    It is the only button to push. The way Google is set up, you will be way luckier here then anyplace else.
    Besides, it just freaks people out when the thing you want pops up.

    Feeling lucky punk?

    by Duncan

    Since googles inception, I've used that button twice.

    So, I guess you can say No, I never use the feeling lucky button. I like to view the hits that I get on a specific query. No matter if it's a single word, a sentence or numerals. :)
