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.

They are also testing it without the gray color, there are more screenshots over here, if you care.
Google has told us that people are searching with many more words than ever before – so I guess this test makes sense.
Forum discussion at X.
