The topic even came up on This Week In Tech.

Yes, it was nice in the past, when you could search for something on the internet and you might find it mentioned on someone's blog.  These days, all the good information is locked away from us in Facebook and Twitter.

Do twitter results show-up in Google and Bing searches?  Probably not.  I'm pretty sure Facebook doesn't share.  Then again, I most likely wouldn't want that.  How would they decide what I want to share and what I want secret between me and my friends.
