All this will be moot when Facebook launches its search engine in couple years.

It takes time to actually build a search engine - you just can't get up and say you're gonna build one. Even if you somehow bring in a partner like Bing. Google has been fighting spammers, scrapers, black-hatters, and thinking about all kinds of search problems for over a decade.

Same could have been said of Yahoo and other search engines before Google.

Exactly. Its amazing to see so many people avoid making this connection in their heads. It's so painfully obvious. I just wish they had IPO'd a few years earlier...
