web crawler that finds and fetches web pages.

5I'm Feeling Lucky Button, What Is It and How Do I
Use It?
- Ordinarily when you type in a key phrase in a
Google search, you press the search button and
Google returns a results page that shows multiple
Web sites matching your search phrase. The I'm
Feeling Lucky button skips the search results
page and goes directly to the first ranked page
for that search phrase. - I 'm Feeling Lucky is handy if you're fairly
confident that the first result in the search
engine is going to be exactly the page you want
to find.
