Back in March 2008, Google began testing search boxes in the search results, it was later seen more often as Google began to like the tests they have seen from it.
Now, it seems like it is gone for most queries. I still see it for a search on new york times, but it is gone for searches like amazon.com or ebay.
Here is an older picture of how that looked:
Now, this box does not show up.
There are some complaints about this not showing up for most searches at Google Web Search Help.

certain brands asked that to not show up for their brands...I believe it was amazon or ebay that was one of the initial complainers, but it still shows for IMDb today. I think publishers could opt out on a site by site basis.

Yes I thought Amazon opted out early on. Still available here in UK for 'argos'

While not a big deal I never saw where you could opt out - thoughts?
