Entering "+pepsi" into my copy of Chrome, or into the Google Search page itself, just does a standard Google search for Pepsi. I'm in the UK. Is this US-only functionality?

I should clarify that it's not in quotes, my fault for not using bracket syntax (now edited).
But for me here in California, [+pepsi] entered in either box takes me to Pepsi's Google+ page — and crucially, not to pepsi.com.
i didn't use quotes and still get a regular search
Worked for me with Chrome 15.0.874.106
That's bizarre. What happens if you type something that should have a plus? E.g. a phone number with the country code (+353 01 etc)

Letting Google's Instant feature get results on "+pepsi", I get the normal "pepsi" results.
However, if I hit the search button, I go to Pepsi's G+ page.
Also in Firefox (7), "+pepsi" in the search bar goes right to their G+ page.
i don't get any new functionality from the omnibox either, and even searching on google.com/ncr for +pepsi doesn't return a google+ page, just pepsi's website.
