Search Keys lets you go to search results by pressing the number of the search result instead of clicking. You can press 1 to go to the first result, Shift+2 to open the second result in a new window, etc. It works with Google, Google News, Google Groups, Google Desktop Search, and del.icio.us.

Update Oct 16, 2004: The shortcut for opening in a new tab is now Alt+N on Windows and Mac, to avoid conflicting with the Ctrl+N shortcut for switching tabs. It is still Ctrl+N on Linux, which uses Alt+N for switching tabs.

sensemann made this graph. Check his thread for the latest version of the graph.

Google recently introduced a mode called "Browse By Name", a cross between "I'm Feeling Lucky" and a normal Google search. "Browse By Name" acts like "I'm Feeling Lucky" if Google is certain that the first hit is correct, but otherwise returns a normal set of search results. If you use Internet Explorer with the Google Toolbar, "Browse By Name" is the default behavior for non-URLs typed into the address bar. The Google Toolbar shows a dialog the first time you use the feature.

By default, Firefox uses "I'm Feeling Lucky" for non-URLs typed into its address bar. You can change the behavior by going to about:config and setting keyword.URL to the appropriate URL and then restarting Firefox.

Tired of clicking hundreds of text links in TGPs just to get to the 10% of galleries with the good stuff? Thumbs shows the first thumbnail from each linked gallery, so you can just middle-click the ones you want.

IMPORTANT-Make sure you read this before using links on this page. Due to the ever increasing amount of nasty scripts and spyware being installed on peoples computers the ONLY browser I recommend for these links is FireFox.

Thanks to Asa for some of these links.

Update Sept 25, 2004: As part of my efforts to promote Pornzilla, I asked these sites to link to Pornzilla in addition to Firefox.

The adbar extension displays Google ads related to pages you view. It works in Firefox 0.9+.

Michael Lefevre and mpt gave correct, but incomplete, answers to the question in my previous blog entry in their comments. Part of Michael's answer:

You'd have to work out which bits of closed bugs should be queryable (if you give any indication of a result based on, say, summary or comment queries, you could be disclosing important bits of the closed bug).

Indicating hidden results for a summary query would indeed disclose an important bit of the bug: its summary. First, the attacker would query for bugs with summaries starting with "a", "b", etc. Discovering that at least one hidden bug's summary begins with "b", the attacker would query for bugs whose summaries start with "ba", "bb", etc. After a few hundred more queries, the attacker would have the entire summary.
