I put back the search box for History because it's one of the features of the original NTP people were asking for.
I understand that the omnibox searches history too, but not thoroughly, so it's not a replacement for the history search box. It may only return a few history results intermingled with search, bookmarks etc. I do think though, that it would be cool if the History and Download pages could use the omnibox for search instead of a separate box. When I go to the history page, the omnibox in that tab should search ONLY history and the same with the downloads. Of course, you would have to make it obvious that that's what's happening.
