Google is testing a longer search bar, so I guess you can enter in a longer query into the search box. Google is also testing it in a gray color and other variations.
Here is the normal search bar - yesterday (hence the July 4th header):

I think a longer search bar is a nice addition and I hope Google actually rolls it out.
