While sharing and searching may not be given the same level of priority, it is clear that this share box is an integral part of Google's plan to expand their home page capacity.
When you click on the Share button, a new box opens up allowing you to share content out to Google+. The box appears throughout the search results page; when you're on one of Google's sites, within Gmail, Google Map or Google News. If you want to share links on Google Maps or Google Videos, you can. You can post a status update too; in fact, you can do that from any Google page you're on (except YouTube).
Up until now, Google's home page has never gone beyond anything but 'searching'. Links leading to other Google services have been there taking you away from the home page to do your work. Now, one doesn't have to navigate away from the comfort of Google's home page - you can transact on it.
