Well I hope nobody follows Google's design philosophy seriously. They are among the worst in the business.
I've said this for a long time, but the only reason Google search was successful is because they were lucky enough to just have a text area for the search box. If they had tried to do anything else, they would have drowned miserably because their design choices and decisions are so bad.
