Facebook adds inbox search, makes inbox actually useful

The only thing Facebook messages have ever been good for is getting a friend's real contact info so you can talk outside of Facebook. But what happens when you lose that critical message with your buddy's new address or screenname? Facebook fails you, and you have to scroll back through all your messages to find the right one. Not anymore! The 'Book has introduced a search bar for your inbox.

Rejoice! A new feature that should have been there all along! We think this is a step in the right direction, even though it's not exactly the highly-touted data portability we're still waiting for. At least this gives us something better to do on Facebook than tend to our very impressive L'il Green Patch.
