It's already into MSN Messenger (since version 6 IIRC). Windows Messenger
is what standard comes with Windows nowadays, and yeah, I can imagine that
they upgrade it to MSN Messenger. Probably most people use MSN Messenger
anyway (instead of Windows Messenger), so nothing new.

BTW, I never use the search in MSN Messenger, but that's probably because
I am not the average person. Before it was in MSN Messenger I had my own
bot that copied a link back when I typed g something.
