Facebook announced through a blog post that a new feature will open user profiles to search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN.

Philip Fung, a Facebook engineer, said that “the public search listing contains less information than someone could find right after signing up anyway, so we’re not exposing any new information, and you have complete control over your public search listing.”

The move is seen to boost trafic and advertising revenues.
