Fricking amazing

I wanted to find the owner's manual for a battery charger and typed "sanyo nc-mqh01u" into the address bar of firefox. Nothing happened, so as I was trying to cut and paste the search terms into the search bar to do a Google search.... another window opens up and ... It is a PDF of the owners manual I was looking for. Fricking amazing.

It all happened so silently, it blew me away. Here's what happened under the covers.
  1. The URL "sanyo nc-mqh01u" was invalid, so Firefox did a search on Google, my selected search engine.
  2. Google did an "I'm feeling lucky" search in which it chooses the top result, which happened to be the onwer's manual.
  3. Voila!
