Live Search comes to Facebook with custom search page

Mashable just spotted the new implementation of Live Search integrated into Facebook.  According to Mashable:

The implementation is fairly straightforward: in the search box on the top right of Facebook, which is also used for quick access to your friends’ profiles and intrasite search, there is now an option to “Search the Web,” which in turn triggers a query of Microsoft Live Search. Results then display within a custom interface designed for Facebook.

We signed up 6 months ago probably for the same reason that most others have...its a good deal.  1 million subscribers is great news as it should spark further platform development and 3rd party support.  Something you might not have the commitment to if there wasn't a sizeable subscriber base.

Congratulations!

Although, after 2 years and with 1 million subscribers, it should no longer be in beta and be extended to more countries than the original ones.

Luckily I was able to join the beta in its earliest stages, so now I get to enjoy a free ride with not having to deal with domain fees that did not exist in the basic package before the recent changes. I find it pretty fair since I never asked for more than what I needed or wanted. I just hope they continue to acknowledge that, for I am in no position to begin paying for it.
