It’s crazy that the “I’m feeling lucky” button still exists, I probably haven’t clicked it in 20 years (though I’ve been using DDG for like the last five).
On DDG those words with the exclamation point are called !bangs, and you can search them by adding !bang to the search query. If you only put “!bang” without a query it takes to the landing page.
For other operators you’ll have to look at each search engine’s help pages.
Either way these days it is very unlikely that the first result will have anything useful on it unless you’re just searching for some basic information like a celebrity’s age or stuff like that.

on ddg you can get the same function by adding an exclamation mark “!” (as in a !bang with no text)
Is there a site that lists all the keycuts (like keywords and shortcuts in 1) for such search engines?
Like
!for DDG and
site:textfor Google
I do know that Qwant at least does support the latter, sort of.

What does it do?
Takes you to a gambling site.
J/k it takes you to the first search result instantly, instead of a search results page.
I’m unsure if this includes sponsored links tbh

Depends on whether he fired six shots or only five. Punk.
Takes you to the first result… it used to be useful.
