But isn't the point of "I'm feeling lucky" to take you to the first search result instead of the list? Not just take you somewhere random.

It seems that retirning the /doodles page is the intended function of the "I'm feeling lucky button" when the search string is empty.^1

Thank you for the correction. I learned something about that button I never knew.

What did the button do in the years before /doodles existed. The button has existed since the early days, but not /doodles.
