Search Anywhere: MS Live Search Coming Soon to Windows Live Messenger

The Windows Live Search blog reports that Windows Live Messenger users will soon be able to search directly from their IM window.

You can try this new search feature from the activities menu of the conversation window, it includes our three most popular scoped search features – Web, News, and Images. These scoped results are based on Windows Live Search, so you get the same results as if you were searching on live.com.

SearchForVideo, a video aggregator (and ResourceShelf fave) also offers IM searching (for MSN, AOL, and Yahoo).

Yahoo Instant Messenger is also beta testing LiveWords (hypertext terms embedded into search results, YQ! type of stuff) at the moment.

AOL Instant Messenger doesn't offer web search from the IM window but does provide Moviefone and Yellow Page searching via AIM Bots.
