Google Might Be Testing A Text Based Button In Its Search Box

Google might be testing, or it might be a bug, or some browser issue, I am not 100% sure, a text based search button in its search box. So instead of the magnifying glass in the search box, there is a text based button or link that says "Search."

This was shared to me by Matt on Twitter who saw a Search button written in text, not a graphic. Here is that screen shot:

Here is what you should see instead:

Again, this could be a test, could be a bug, could be something fake - but I found it interesting and even feasible that something Google would test.
