  I should clarify that it's not in quotes, my fault for not using bracket syntax (now edited). But for me here in California, [+pepsi] entered in either box takes me to Pepsi's Google+ page — and crucially, not to pepsi.com.

    That's bizarre. What happens if you type something that should have a plus? E.g. a phone number with the country code (+353 01 etc)

  Letting Google's Instant feature get results on "+pepsi", I get the normal "pepsi" results. However, if I hit the search button, I go to Pepsi's G+ page. Also in Firefox (7), "+pepsi" in the search bar goes right to their G+ page.

  i don't get any new functionality from the omnibox either, and even searching on google.com/ncr for +pepsi doesn't return a google+ page, just pepsi's website.

  I had to type it in, not copy-and-paste, and got it.
