The missing search box is enough to confuse my mom. Safari has a search and address bar, in Chrome they're the same thing. My mom would ask where the search box disappeared to. I guess it's possible to set Chrome to have a separate search box, though. I've never tried it so I'm not sure.
There's no search bar in Safari anymore; the search and path bars are the same thing, just like Chrome.
My grandmother didn't have much of a problem with it, all I had to do was tell her they both do the same thing now. She uses the iPad more but only because of the advantages of direct manipulation versus the small touchpad of the Chromebook.
