"We knew this was coming - last week I spotted the Google logo appearing occasionally next to MySpace search results, while the results themselves were still the old Overture links.  Today, I spotted that the long awaited $900 million search deal has gone live, with a Google logo appearing on MySpace.com and every profile page.  What's more, the Overture links have been replaced with the familiar Google search results, plus a sponsored result at the top.  But MySpace may want to ban users from removing the Google search box in the same way they ban members from stripping out the ads: one user has already posted a way to remove the Google box from your page altogether.   \nThe great thing about the new integration is that it spans the entire site: the web, MySpace, profile pages, music, music videos, blogs, MySpace Video, events and all the other MySpace sections can be searched with lightning speed, delivering results that are many times more relevant than before.  This may lead to users actually utilizing the search function on MySpace, rather than ignoring it due to poor results.  Personally, I was getting accustomed to using Google search to find results within the MySpace domain, as well as the subscription tools at Mashable Labs - the integration will mean I can skip that step.  What's more, the addition of Adwords will make MySpace advertising accessible to everyone.  Was this integration worth $900 million?  It'll take some time to find out, but I'm willing to bet that Google got a fairly good deal.\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
