Looks like more and more searchers are seeing a brand new design test from Google in their core search results. This test shows a rounded search box that sticks to the top as you scroll through the search results.
Screen shots of the test first originated via Reddit, which was first covered at Search Engine Journal. I then got Google to confirm this test and they said "We're always experimenting with new ways to improve the Search experience for our users." Yes, they are always testing.

Google has tested rounded design on mobile a few months ago.
