Here are a few that are available now:
Search All Family Trees on FamilySearch - there are other trees besides the family tree on FamilySearch. This allows you to search all the trees from one place. Sources include Guild of One-Name Studies, MyTrees.com, Pedigree Resource File, International Genealogical Index, User Trees, and the FamilySearch Family Tree.
Simple Search - A new way to search Full-Text Search documents. Type what you want to know, just like you would for a Google search. I searched for an ancestor using text, and the results included more items than when I put their name in the Keyword field of the existing search. I'm definitely going to keep using this one.
Improved Change Person Log - improved notes to see what changes have been made to a person's records. This will be helpful if you have an ancestor whom someone else has made a change to, or a record that was merged.
Experiments have a Feedback button; use it to let them know if you like the change or have any issues.
