Since google began, their theory was that they can find what you are looking for. So to prove their point,(early on), they put the "i'm feeling lucky" button. Instead of seeing a list of results it will pick the best result, based on your search criteria.

 

Aside from that, google has all kinds of 'easter eggs' embedded in their system.

 

Try searching these words & click on "I'm feeling lucky" button:

 

asshole

OR

French Military Victories (notice what it asks you "do you mean...")

 

These above as well as the failure one, are called GoogleBombs. Basically not a result of anything within Google's programming. They are created by people who boost a site and link to a particular site with keywords. If enough links go to that site/page, which contain that keyword, google's search automatically thinks that it's a valid or best-fitting "i'm feeling lucky" or top-ranked site for those keywords. So if you don't hate george bush, then don't blame google for that one... and FYI if you search google on some other countries' google sites, you'll find the result will be michael moore, instead of ol' dubya.

 

As an alternative, google HAS put these in place from within the company, probably by employees just having fun. They're cool to check out but they don't do much. (see below)

 

Try this version of google:

For the l33t h4x0r : http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/

Remember the Swedish Chef? : http://www.google.com/intl/xx-bork/

Elmer Fudd: http://www.google.com/intl/xx-elmer/

Go back to 3rd grade and speak pig latin! : http://www.google.com/intl/xx-piglatin/
