For more than ten years the trademark "I'm Feeling Lucky"
button of Google has been an
essential part of its search engine. But now it seems the technology giant is ditching it.
Google is currently testing out a new user interface design in Finland and the
button is
conspicuous by its absence.
"I'm Feeling Lucky" was designed to take users directly to the third-party websites, bypassing the search results page.
"I'm Feeling Lucky" was created to
reflect Google's confidence that its top search result would almost always be the one being looked for.
But since the
launch of the Google Instant search last year, the
button only works if the user disables the
instant search function.
As Google continues to break new ground at a
tremendous rate, perhaps the
button will give some
impact on the Nostalgic.
There has been no official word yet confirming whether or not it will be
permanently removed.
据英国《每日邮报》20日报道:虽然十几年以来,"手气不错"按钮一直是谷歌搜索引擎的一个重要组成部分。但是现在谷歌这个科技巨头看来是要移除这个按钮了。
谷歌芬兰站点近日在试验一个全新的用户界面样式,很明显这个按钮不见了。
点击"手气不错"按钮后,用户被直接引向第三方网站,而不会打开显示Google搜索结果页面。
"手气不错"按钮反映了谷歌对其搜索结果几乎正是用户所找的那条信息的信心。
但是自从去年开始使用谷歌即时搜索后,这个按钮就只在使用即时搜索功能未果时才会被点击。
谷歌一直都在以惊人的速度创新,但是移除这个按钮可能会对一些怀旧的人产生影响。
这个按钮会不会被永久移除,暂时还没有得到官方证实。
