The closest thing that I've found to that is to just type the word google in the address bar, and then the term that I'm searching for. So "google radio" in the address bar will do a google search on the word "radio" and bring you to the results. dict also works to search dictionary.com, and I'm assuming that other things work as well.
As far as I know this is standard, I don't think I've done anything particular to make it work that way...
Disguising cell towers as trees isn't a bad idea, if it looks reasonable. I've seen a few in California that blend in pretty well. Here on the east coast, though, I've seen more than enough "conifers" that are about 3 times taller than the surrounding treeline. I think I'd rather just see the tower...
In the college town that I live in, they rececntly mounted cell antennas onto the smokestack of the heating plant. They're painted red to blend in with the brick, and they're barely noticable. With all the unused mills in New England, this seems to be a good option.
Some others have commented on the similar complaints that people have concerning wind mills. Personally, I find them to be somewhat attractive. They have a sense of majesty and peace that cell/radio towers don't seem to have. Perhaps the knowledge that they're providing energy without causing too much damage helps my opinion of them.

Assuming that you are willing to trust that this machine isn't (either by design or by tampering) just grabbing and logging all of your data.
Granted, I'm sure protection mechanisms would be built in to address this, but I think I'd still be a bit skeptical.
This bothered me for a while as well.
