Microsoft Live Search now embedded in Facebook

When Microsoft announced it had struck a deal with Facebook to integrate its Live Search technology into the Facebook platform, the Redmondians were reluctant to share details.

But as of today, October 7, Live Search  is now part of Facebook.

The Redmond Pie site has more on how the Live Search-Facebook integration works. As News.com notes, it's not clear how or even whether searches done from inside Facebook will grow Microsoft's overall query share, as these are Intranet, rather than Internet, searches.

I've asked Microsoft for more information. No response yet.

Update: There is a bit more info on the Live Search blog -- with Microsoft promising it will have "more to share on this (Live Search-Facebook) partnership in the weeks to come" -- which I found thanks to a link on LiveSide.Net.
