Webdriver doesnt click on Google Search

Question

Its a very simple script, but I need help.

The webdriver clicks the google search button when there are no suggestions listed for the text typed (for eg macintosh). But when suggestions appear, how do I still make the webdriver click on the Google Search button. My code below:

package newProj;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;


public class Google {


public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {



    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "./drivers/chromedriver.exe");

    RemoteWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

    driver.get("http://www.google.com");
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
    driver.findElementById("lst-ib").sendKeys("macintosh");

    WebElement gs = driver.findElementByXPath("//input[@value = 'Google Search']");

    gs.click();
    System.out.println("Search Done");

    driver.close();
}

}

but getting the below error. Pls help

driver.navigate().to("http:\google.com");

    driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[title='Search']")).sendKeys("sele");

    List<WebElement> list=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@class='sbsb_b']/li[*]"));

    Iterator<WebElement> itr=list.listIterator();
    while(itr.hasNext()){

        WebElement element=itr.next();

        if(element.getText().equalsIgnoreCase("selenium webdriver")){

            element.click();
            break;
        }
    }
