A new update to Facebook last night includes final integration of Windows Live Search and Facebook. The integration is another part in the $240m investment Microsoft made in FB back in October.
This has the potential for Live.com [Microsoft search] to significantly boost the potential audience for their search product, something that is sorely needed and has not been achieved to date.
One of the issues moving forward will be how much the FB audience actually uses the search functionality, but should focus on this as a positive opportunity for Microsoft Search to grow market share.
In time we will be seeing Adcenter ads appaear against these search results. As we write here in the UK the search facility is not fully integrated [it was there last night, it is not here this morning] and again in time we will see AdCenter ads appearing against the search results.
This is how the search results looked last night on Facebook UK.
