The technique behind it is quite simple:
\n1. Find a Google query that shows your desired page on top. With query modifiers like intitle: inurl: site: it’s quite easy
\n2. Construct a Google URL to send a “I’m Feeling Lucky” query
\n3. Percent encode your Google query from 1 and the button name (“‘I’m Feeling Lucky”) to obfuscate
\n4. Prepend your Google query with a lot of %20 to fool the browser URL preview in the footer. Hovering over the link will not show the percent decoded URL!<\/p>\n

Update: The Google query was additionally appended with %20, so it looks the same in Firefox 5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
