Non-royal hunt for The Sun

Last year, I gave up guessing URLs and switched to the more reliable method of typing something into Google and hitting the Lucky button. It almost always works. Recently, I failed when trying to reach the site for The Sun, a British Murdoch-owned tabloid newspaper best known for publishing photos of semi-naked women on page 3. My second search was even worse, getting The Sun on the fourth page. This is a long way from I'm Feeling Lucky. Of course, if I'd remembered that Google ignores the word "the" and put the title in inverted commas, that would have avoided the problem. Searching for "the sun" works fine.
