It's a little tweak with a few lovely implications: Now Google Maps has much more tightly integrated Google Street View, so you can switch seamlessly between the two when looking for an address.
After performing a search in Google Maps, you'll see an option underneath the search result will go to "Street View," it's takes you to the street-level view of the business or location which you're searching for. The address will have a marker right in front of it, and you can use all the normal street view tools to zoom and navigate the representation of the space.
From the street view you get a link to "Search nearby," which then seamlessly takes you back out to Maps level to see results close to where you just were. You can click on any of the found icons to go back to Street View and see that location's positioning relative to other businesses or homes in the area.
