Facebook is probably banking on that.

No and yes!
I think Facebook is introducing a new paradigm to search (social)
that's far from the web crunching of online archives, forums,
blogs that Google has been doing for us.
Now you can search for friends with whom you've or share certain
things in common. For instance you can find friends with whom you
share the same foods, or music or movies etc...which is cool and
couldn't be done by Google since it doesn't have a big social data
graph (reason it's never given up on a social network product --
buzz, G+). So in that respect, yes Facebook is changing search,
but things could get a little sticky when users get serious with
their privacy.
On the other hand, since the search is ONLY within Facebook, it's
much of a game changer and can't challenge Google whose search
engines crawl the WHOLE web. So what happens if Facebook tomorrow
becomes like MySpace or Geocities? The FB search graph depends on
users engagement and commitment to the social network. If they
decide to move to another new hot network, the FB search engine
won't have anymore social user generated data to churn out
relevant search results.

A few days ago facebook announced the release of of a beta
version of their search engine labeled "Graph Search" which
was designed using some opensource tools. Could graph search
be a huge competitor to google and have they revolutionized
search. Read on here:

I think so too Spencer. But yes what David says is true. I guess it
mainly a big game changer in the social network aspect. I bet the g+
engineers will this time integrate something like this on the google
search engine.
