I hadn’t realized the “lucky” button was still in use. The first result in Google searches is so much less likely to be of value now than it had been back when search was still unenshittified that I guessed they’d have done away with the ‘one result’ option.

If they left the lucky option as a fully functional silver arrow, they lose some revenue they’d otherwise have gotten by forcing you to sift through bad results.
