Facebook has acquired an Ecommerce search engine, The Find. The terms and conditions of the purchase still remain undisclosed. The Find, which has been using its search engine to exponent products across a wide variety of e-commerce sites for the past nine years will now transfer key members from its team over to Facebook in order to facilitate the integration of the company's technology into the search engine.

For those of you who don't know, TheFind.com was a discovery shopping search engine targeting lifestyle products such as apparel, accessories, home and garden, fitness, kids and family, and health and beauty founded in 2006 as FatLens Inc. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, USA owned by two Indians, Shiva Kumar and ShashiKant Khandelwal.
