Never mind, a little search found it for me

If you want to restore the Google "I'm Lucky" search then perform this simple steps:
1. Type about:config in Firefox location bar and press Enter
2. Type keyword in Filter textbox and you will see only the preference keyword.URL.
3. Double-click on keyword.URL and change the value to: http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%...eling+Lucky&q=

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&...avclient&q=

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%s
Are some more that work.

Cheers

firefox has a built in search engine tool bar in the upper right, to the right of the URL bar. Check in your settings if it isn't there. I have my search bar set to Bing, just type in my search, hit enter, and it redirects to the results page from the actual site. Same for google, yahoo, ebay, wiki, etc

Yea i got the search bar there.

If i happen to misspell a url, i want it to search it. NOT take me to an ad search.
