Interesting Search interface in Chrome

Today I noticed something I hadn’t seen before in the Chrome dev channel. When I typed “amazon.com” and then hit space, it turned into a search feature and then did a site specific search on amazon using the phrase I typed after.

Pretty cool and subtle feature.

Looks like they're using OpenSearch. Cool. :)

Another odd thing that I noticed related to privacy. The iPhone app doesn't appear to adhere to the default privacy settings with respect to status updates. For instance, if you've got a "no family or coworkers" list and exclude that as part of your default setting for status updates, it will NOT hide status updates if you do it from the iPhone.
