Google doens't rank a page just because of the word on it. A page may also
rank highly for a search because of the words in and around links on OTHER
pages that point at it.

So in this case, if there are many people linking to that page and using the
word "madird," then it may be ranking well because of that, even though it
doesn't use the word itself but rather "madrid."

And Feeling Lucky just takes you automatically to the first page on Google's
results list.
