The Google Home Page is undoubtedly the most valuable piece or real estate on the Web. Much has been written about Google’s web-design philosophy, stressing a clean and simplified style. Why then does the “I’m feeling lucky” button persist? Does anyone use this on a regular basis? I doubt if one percent of all searches use the lucky button, if that.

Why not replace the lucky button with a “Did you mean” button. I’m never lucky with my searches and luckily there is the “Did you mean” link right at the top of the results waiting to bail me out. Isn’t it time for some change? What we really need is more help with searching not more luck.
