I'm very skeptical about this. There's a lot of assumptions being made about Facebook's move into search. I'll just hit on a few (assuming they go into search at all):
1) That they'll be good at it. Search isn't easy. It has taken Microsoft, the most resourceful tech company, over 10 years to get search right.
2) That people will choose to use it. Very big assumption; people tend to use tools for specific tasks. Facebook having search is certainly convenient, but I'm not sure it trumps habit and perceived utility.
Facebook wasn't able to kill Foursquare. They weren't able to kill email. But they'll kill Google.. why?
