It is different from browser to browser; it's based on the users settings. For instance, firefox for me brings up a google search and IE bring up a msn search (none go directly to a specific page). I'm assuming it's based on various toolbars and whatnot that come with browsers these days. I don't see a setting where you can manually change this...within firefox, at least.

Typing keywords into the Firefox address bar (not the adjacent search box) will by default be the equivalent of the Google "I'm feeling lucky" button. IE usually conducts a search using your default search engine (usually MSN Live unless you change it).

>>> Typing keywords into the Firefox address bar (not the adjacent search box) will by default be the equivalent of the Google "I'm feeling lucky" button. Through some experimentation Firefox will only act this way if the keywords are specific. If you search something vague then it will show a regular Google search. For example:
type: "webmasterworld"
This brings you right here! Then type: "color"
And you'll see that it will bring up a google search for color [google.com]
