Facebook fights back at Google: To Launch Custom Searcg Engine.

       The competition between Facebook and Google has been intense ever since Google+ was launched to curb Facebook's popularity in social networking. Now, in order to maintain the lead on the internet, Facebook is planning to diversify its functions and is reportedly reshaping its search functionality to compete with Google.

What could have prompted the move was the social networking site users jumping off to Google for browsing other information Google+ users offer.

According to reports, Facebook developers, led by former Google engineer Lars Rasmussen, are working on Facebook search engine, which would enable easy browsing of Facebook status, images, messages and wall posts. 

Citing unnamed sources, a report in Bloomberg Business week said the project aims to enable users to more easily search Facebook's status updates, posted articles, pictures and videos.
