There are three basic use cases:
1) 123 main street wichita kansas -> should show me map or link that obviously takes me to a map
2) two addresses with the word "to" in between should offer me a link with directions
3) "restaurant" (or other business type) plus an address or zip code should take me to something like this: http://www.google.com/search?q=restaurant+11211&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a http://www.google.com/search?q=restaurant+11211&ie=utf-8...
These really only save a few clicks, but I love having one box which can answer pretty much any question. Google does a decent job with the mapping, but it's definitely possible to do better. Of course, correctly guessing what a searcher means is always a tricky challenge.
