Google just updated its iOS Google Search app (iTunes link). I have always preferred searching for Web content on the iPhone using Google's dedicated search app, compared to the search box built in to Safari. Now the experience is better.
The updated app focuses on speed -- both in terms of how quickly it runs (faster, especially autocomplete) and
with a few user interface tweaks that make using it feel a lot better. On a mobile device, like my underpowered iPhone 4, these little things matter. For example, if you're viewing a page you got to from the search app (it has its own browser), swiping your finger left to right on the page pops you back in to your search result list. It makes sorting through results much less of a chore.
There's a nice easy feature to search within a page, something that's buried in Safari.
