Snow Leopard: Before a user changes their homepage to Google, Safari now lets them know that they can use the search bar instead to perform a Google search.

I wonder if this is anything to do with the revenue that Apple receives as a result of Google searches originating from the Safari search field. John Gruber mentioned this back when Safari was announced at WWDC 2007:

My somewhat-informed understanding is that Apple is currently generating about $2 million per month from Safari’s Google integration. That’s $25 million per year. If Safari for Windows is even moderately successful, it’s easy to see how that might grow to $100 million per year or more.
