Search from the location bar is controlled by keyword.URL

keyword.URL default string 

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

The &gfns=1 is what gets you the I'm Feeling lucky search.

More information on configuration variables available in about:config entries and for users not familiar with the process there is about:config (How to change).
