Automatically open first Google search result that starts with "! "

Open first google search result automatically if you start the search with "! "

You need to create new search engine setting in Chrome - it's simple:

  • open Google Settings > Manage Search Engines
  • create new search engine
  • name it say "Google first result"
  • set keyword to "!"
  • set URL to {google:baseURL}search?q=%s&{google:RLZ}{google:acceptedSuggestion}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}{google:assistedQueryStats}{google:searchFieldtrialParameter}{google:searchClient}{google:sourceId}{google:instantExtendedEnabledParameter}ie={inputEncoding}&btnI
  • save

What it does is adding last extra parameter to default search url to jump directly to first result (I feel lucky mode).

Now when you open a new tab and type "! dog" (mind the space) it jumps to first result automatically.

Enjoy
