There's been speculation going way back now that a social search engine is something that could be on Facebook's plate. It is entirely possible too. Like you said, it will deliver a hard blow to Google whose mainstay is their domination of the search market. But they'll have to do it right. Which I think is why we haven't seen it yet. A premature or incapable release would be a horrible blow to Facebook's reputation.

Google can obviously see this threat on the horizon too, which is why they're fighting so hard to get into Facebook dominated territory every chance they can.
