I didn't say I don't use it, I said I don't use it everyday.

I didn't say "it's perfect as it is". I said there are good reasons why the Facebook team moved in that direction.

Only because you don't use search doesn't mean no one is. I said most of the people I know, use it to find people they know. If they want to see what is someone doing, they don't go trough their friend list (referrer volume), but they search directly the name (search volume). In this case the search volume is bigger than the referrer one. Find ways to make it easier for users to search.

I think Facebook employs in part some of the Google paradigms in UX.
