I am NOT feeling lucky

Internet Email spamming is highly uncontrollable even after huge efforts around the world. Recently I received an email in my Gmail INBOX and wondering how a spam email has came in my inbox I checked it:
Increase your Size
http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:anherbal&btnI=I=Im+Feeling+Lucky
famish grin lair
kenney
adapt
faith
The link in this message is of Google search that tries to look for "anherbal" inside URLs and by using I am Feeling Lucky feature clicking on this link will take you to the first web site that comes in search result without any confirmation.
So you really don’t know where this link is going to take you!!
And on top of that this email lands in your inbox.
This is quite a vulnerability of Google search feature called "I am feeling lucky".
Hence may be Google should validate requests for the use of I am feeling lucky feature.
