Many sites in the past would rely solely on search engines to get their traffic. More recently the social media has played a very important roll to bring the traffic.
If facebook had to develop a search engine it could overtake google. Do you think they have plans to do this in the near future?
 
From my viewpoint, the search engine and social media are 2 different animals. Google has the Google+ which is a pretender to the throne of Facebook. From what I gathered, Google+ is a social media that is very similar to Facebook. And although it has not taken a full blast campaign, Facebook has a fight on its hands when Google+ finally decides to clash. With the search engine, I don't see any pretender right now, not Yahoo search, not Bing. Google is well established and people have that habit of tapping Google for searching.
 
They're completely different markets, there would be no point in engaging such a risky competition with a rival as formidable as Google.
The audiences of social networks and search engines surely overlap, but this doesn't mean Facebook would do well in this environment: I mean, just see what happened to Bing. It was developed by no less than Microsoft, but it still couldn't keep up with Google, and I don't think anyone or anything will be able to dethrone it any time soon; it's just too well settled (I mean, we have even started to use the "to Google" verb in our everyday life).
 
Facebook is such a horrible company comprised of horrible people that as much as I dislike Google (and they have stolen thousands of dollars from me), I would prefer that Facebook not take over Google or anything else. When you have to choose the lesser dictator and antagonist, whichever that one is always remains the better choice when neither one is ideal.
 
Google is the best search engine even though there are many players in the market. Until now Facebook is the best social media platform even though there are many other social media sites. I don't see Facebook taking over Google even of facebook develops search engine because facebook's market share have been taking my other similar sites, however, Google's market share has not even been snatched by Bing or Yahoo.
 
I don't think Facebook would become as effective as Google should it branch out into the search engine business. This is Google's turf and a late player like Facebook would only disrupt the existing sense of harmony among current search engines. I also have a feeling that Zuckerberg doesn't want to move in this direction. He has bigger plans for Facebook and Google's already an economy of scale as far as PPC campaigns, blogging, video streaming and search engine research are concerned.
 
Facebook already has a search engine but you can only use it to search for content posted on Facebook.

Recently when news of Yahoo's intention to sell their core internet business [and that includes Yahoo search engine] was circulating, I heard rumors that Facebook was interested . . .

If Facebook was to acquire Yahoo then all they'd have to is improve Yahoo's search engine and maybe they'll grab a small share of the search market but I doubt that even then they'd be able to compete against Google.
 
It's very hard, and almost impossible to overthrow Google in terms of search engines. Google has established their brand as the world's leading search engine for years now, and personally I don't see that title changing anytime soon, even with a competitor as big as Facebook. This is also why Google, specifically Google+, won't be taking over Facebook in terms of social platform because Facebook has established their name as the leading social platform, and people are not looking forward to migrate to a new platform anytime soon.
 
For Facebook it would be hard to come up with a plan to create a search engine much more powerful than the ones that are topping the charts. Google is stronger than Facebook what it comes to image-wise since people actually rely on Google. Maybe Facebook has a lot of users and all that, but people don't tend to trust them anymore. Since they've been on the news thanks to all the scandals that they've been spying on their users, I don't think they would get that many people to use their search engine. In my opinion they're going to stick with Facebook, trying to make it even bigger what it currently is.
 
From what I've read, Facebook is really on the verge of launching its own search engine. It has launched the Graph Search in the US, although in beta only. Mark Zuckerberg's aim for Facebook is to make it an all-in-one site, where you can get lots of information without even leaving the site or application. With the addition of its own search engine, the social media site is a bit closer to that dream.

What makes Facebook's Graph Search different than Google is that it allows a more personalised result for the individual. In Facebook, we have our locations set, we have our personal likes set and all these things allow for a more individualised search result which can adhere more to a person's needs. We don't have that with Google, which ranks websites according to traffic obtained and not because of preference of the individual searching for a certain term.

Now, only time will tell if Facebook's search engine will compete or even win over Google. I do think both search engines have their advantages and disadvantages. At the end of the day, it's up to the user which one he will use.
 
In my uneducated opinion, I don't think FaceBook can beat Google, even in the long run. It's a social media site. Google has been in this industry for years. But FaceBook do have hundreds of millions (or billions maybe?) of users available at their own disposal. I mean if they could take advantage of that fact (like what missiemouse said), like make those users cooperate in some way then maybe, just maybe, FaceBook can give Google a run for its money. Just like what Google did to Yahoo! Time will tell.
 
I think that both Google and Facebook are the biggest internet giants, so as far as I see it it's not really that important who is the bigger one as both are eating small companies for breakfast and making billions.
 
When people are comparing internet giants such as Facebook and Google, I think it's hard to just quite understand how big we're talking here and for one to take over or try and compete with the other would be futile.

It's like two multi-billionaires trying to out bid each other at an auction, and sooner rather than later they'll both just give up as what they'd gain, isn't really worth the price they'd have to pay.
 
That's quite right, the dimension is so surreal we even fail to understand it. We are talking about Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple and so on, I wonder how many countries don't have as much wealth as these companies.
 
These really are the giants of the IT sector, kind of like Shell when you're taking about the oil and petrol industry. For the everyday individual, we can't even imagine how much these companies are worth, and like I said, when we're talking about take overs if one of these companies get involved, they've got the funds to take over and swallow up any other company in their sector.

I just heard a few months ago a quote.. it was something like that for the first time, Facebook sent more traffic to outside websites than Google did.

Developing an actual search engine is very easy to do technically. The guy from duckduckgo which gets a good deal of traffic and has excellent search results created the site in a very short time with only a few million dollars. It would be trivial for someone the size of Facebook to add a search engine to their interface.
 
I don't think that Facebook's search engine can become more effective than Google's. Well, Google's search engine is far more advanced than Facebook's. Facebook's search engine can only be used to search about some products and pages of Facebook whereas Google can be used to search almost anything on the Internet. So, I think Google will remain on top.

Facebook could easily incorporate a search engine onto it's site but then it would go head on with google and I don't know if these two giants really want to slug it out. Google has expanded into all the areas of the internet, while Facebook still is the same as when it was created.

That is why they are so big and keep growing, whenever they see an opportunity or a threat they run to buy it and keep growing and terminating competition at the same time.
 
Eliminating the competition is just one element if course, another is being able to change aswell.

With the amount of money these sits have got, they are able to take risks that a lot of other companies can't. Facebook can try something new, if it doesn't work then they can try something else. Other companies might try the same thing and end up going bankrupt as they can't make it work, and run out of money while they're trying to do so.
