Facebook has had stream search for public status messages since July of 2009. Stream search is privacy-neutral; it only lets you see posts you were already allowed to see. If you don't want your status messages to be visible to everyone, set your privacy settings accordingly. Account -> Privacy Settings -> Personal Information and Posts and adjust the "Posts by Me" setting to whatever you like.
