there are two submit buttons underneath the search input field. "Go" directly displays the site with the highest ranking, like googles "i'm feeling lucky".
ah thanks; i equally never understood the meaning of the "i'm feeling lucky" button on google :-)
It started as a realisation of how good google.stanford.edu was at sorting search results, whereas the leading engine of then, Altavista, was barely sorting them at all. The button name probably started from a sentence like "if you're just a bit lucky, the 1st search result is exactly what you wanted"... (in Altavista, you had to be very lucky instead.)
