Google will now index public status updates from Facebook pages, the search giant said this week via a tweet on its official account.

Google will be introducing new features that bring search results to life with a dynamic stream of real-time content from across the web. Now, immediately after conducting a search, people will be able to see live updates from people on popular sites like Facebook, Twitter and FriendFeed, as well as headlines from news and blog posts published just seconds before. When they are relevant, Google will rank these latest results to show the freshest information right on the search results page.

Real-time search will enable users to discover breaking news the moment it''s happening, even if it''s not the popular news of the day.

Clicking on "Latest results" or selecting "Latest" from the search options menu, users will view a full page of live tweets, blogs, news and other web content scrolling right on Google.
