I've just spotted a new Google Maps onebox on Google. The box was automatically collapsed but has a [+] link below the result which when clicked opens the Maps onebox.

It seems that the onebox is shown when you search for a term and the first result is a business listed on Google Maps.

Incase no one can see the onebox:
