Why the feature "I m Feeling Lucky" has been removed from the Firefox awesomebar in all versions after version 3.6?

Firefox 3.6, when I type something specific, like "wikipedia steve jobs" in the url bar, I am taken directly to the page of Wikipedia for Steve Jobs, and if I type something less specific, I am taken to a results page of Google search for what I typed in the bar (unless it was a URL, of course). in the current version of Firefox, however, I am taken to a page of Google search results for whatever I type in (again, not a URL, of course), even if the page I'm looking for is obvious - how I can avoid this extra step and find the functionality of Firefox 3.6 "I'm Feeling Lucky"?

There is a beginning of change in Firefox 4 and later versions in the search by location bar works.

  • In Firefox 3.6.x, rental search bar use Google search "search by name". With innovation by the name search, it searches Google and if there is a clear match he will take you on the site, otherwise, it shows the page of Google search results
  • In Firefox 4 and newer versions, the default is to perform a Google search and present the page in Google search results if you type something that is not recognized as an URL you type a complete URL, such as www.youtube.com to go directly to the site.

To get Firefox 3.6.x behavior in Firefox 4 and newer versions, you can change a hidden preference OR install the module below.
