>With Google Chrome, when opening a new window, when accessing google.com for the first time, when I try to type in the search box, I am redirected in the Google Chrome url as if I would have typed in there instead. Anyone else has experienced this?
Yes, I see that too. AFAIK that's been standard behaviour for a long time in Chrome. Basically Google is reminding you that you can search from there and not waste Google's resources loading up its search page first.
The idea of searching from the address/URL bar when non-URL terms are entered has been around for a while. I can't recall if it was Firefox or Chrome which did it first.
