According to the market research firm Hitwise, Facebook.com has overtaken Google to become the most popular website in the United States for the first time.
For the week ending March 13, Facebook had a 7.07% market share, beating Google’s 7.03% market share.
“The market share of visits to Facebook.com increased 185% last week as compared to the same week in 2009, while visits to Google.com increased 9% during the same time frame”.
Alexa and Compete continue to rank Google #1 and Facebook #2.

so, Facebook could kill Google (more than Bing and Yahoo) just starting its own search engine service

Facebook is well positioned but I think its a little harder than your making it out

yes, it’s not easy to beat Google, but a Facebook SE could reach a 15-20% market share in a couple of years
.
Taking over the SE market seems rather unlikely, but they have become a good alternative/addition for advertisers.
.
win in the SE market is the key to win in the online advertising market
publish ads on Facebook without a SE will be only like publish ad on a big site like eBay, etc.
