A Yahoo-Facebook Search Engine Would Be A Brilliant Move For Both Companies--Here's Why
According to unrevealed sources referred by The Sunday Telegraph, CEO of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer and COO of Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg, are in dialogue for a “major jump forward in search.”
As anyone already knows, Bing is the only search engine who are using data from Facebook, and users this data in its social search programme. It is very improbable that a deal between Yahoo! and Facebook will be set up without Bing, yet not unlikely. The question is what occurs between Microsoft and Yahoo! if the bruited deal goes by, and how is Bing going to cope, thinking that “social search” is the search engine’s aim since 2010?
Taking over that Facebook and Yahoo! do close a search deal, will this “spell the end ofYahoo!’s relationship withMicrosoft,” as connote by The Sunday Telegraph? It is very improbable that Marissa Mayer will threaten one of the most profitable Yahoo! strives, the ad network presently running as Yahoo! Bing Network. What do you imagine?

Are you guys waiting for a Facebook Search Engine? Did you hear, finally, it’ll arrive and it willeventually do search. The Facebook CEO interview (Mark Zuckerberg), he said they will do it at some point, by it, means search. Zuckerberg said that Facebook is doing a billion searches per day, “and we’re not even trying.”
Users most searches are, as we have listened in the past, truly people looking for other people. But there are also searches for brands. “There’s a big chance there,” Zuckerberg said, of going beyond people search.
Here are some quotes from Mark:
Facebook is pretty uniquely positioned to answer the queries people have. At some point we'll do it. We have a team working on it.
Search engines are really developing to give you a set of answers, ‘I have a specific question, answer this question for me.
Fireside Chat With Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg
Note: I listened Zuckerberg has saying Facebook does on the order of a quarter billion searches per day, but various other outlets are saying he said one billion per day. I've updated my content to that figure until I can double-check with the eventual video.
