#2Cool. But it's easy to do. It's just a get request to google. Nevertheless, it's my new homepage!

#3could be a bit risky to have a domain containing the word "google", don't you think? Dude you got it even two times in there, double offensive :)

#4Is this really necessary? I use Chrome, and can just type my search in the URL bar and go? I'm pretty sure Firefox has this same feature. On top of all that, if you go to http://www.google.com/ and just start typing, it will start your search. This site just seems like a waste with so many other (quicker) routes that are available. I don't see any value in this. Am I missing something?

This. Also, it breaks my back button.

I will add, however, that the domain is neat and could be used in other creative ways than just a "bad shortcut" (as I explained above). Unless, again, I'm missing something with it's current functionality.

Originally I hoped to somehow hack the instant preview into it (then it would be nice for those who prefer a Huge Search Area instead of a tiny search bar), but then I found google used some methods to prevent you from doing this. For example, no chance of iframe.
The future plan could be to get rid of useless stuffs in google and google search results as much as one could, though this must be against their terms.

This could be a killer domain if there is ever a strike at Google. /s
