Search results change each time Google reconfigures the formula by which they compile and rank webpages. Most recently, Google has indexed Facebook fan pages and they are now searchable to some degree or another. The extent to which the search results have changed won’t be apparent for a while, but expect changes.

Google on Wednesday began indexing Facebook Fan page status updates in real-time search results. The announcement, made through a tweet on Twitter, fulfills the promise the search engine made Dec. 7 at the Computer History Museum.

We don’t yet know if this means that facebook statuses will show up in live searches, but we do know that there has been a change as it regards Facebook and Google. Reputation management firms will have their work cut out for them.
