Interesting problem though.

How would Google differentiate between a search and an address without having the Maps product deeply integrated ? Sure they could identify the address and then render the map using say Apple Maps. But what if Apple Maps didn't understand the address or if their API implementation didn't match up.

Seems like it would very much hurt the overall experience.

Apple maps would have to implement Google defined api and respond with some sort of failure.
