Am deliberately not creating it as a link.

Note that Google is changing the URLs. This might keep working forever, or a long time, or maybe will fail sooner than we think. See stackoverflow.com/questions/1122523/…

I initially thought the question was about sending a link through email or whatever (having no REFERER at all), and actually I'm a bit surprised that this also still works when using ANOTHER referrer, like when linked from another site. But: you're right, it does work. I've added a safe link to Super User as an example.

This seems to be sensitive to the query. The example query works, but for some other search queries, it still gives the results page instead of redirecting to the first result. It's not clear to me what separates the two scenarios.
