Facebook starts making better use of its search box

Via TechCrunch:

Heads up, Google. Facebook is testing a new format of search ads called Sponsored Results that lets advertisers show ads in the Facebook search typeahead to users looking for a particular Page, app, or Place. It basically will let businesses divert traffic from each other.

This could end up being a really good thing for Facebook users. The more money the company can make off search, when users are actively engaged in finding something, the less pressure to abuse privacy for profits.
