A couple things that would have been nice: 1. Use AJAX wizardry to have the box hidden until requested. It takes up considerable room for a Google feature. 2. While a bit more difficult to implement, and only practical for well known, high traffic sites, allow an option to have the search be passed to the web site's own search engine and displayed thusly. Google doesn't list products I might want to search for in quite the same way as a well constructed retail site. I like the feature and see myself using it.
