Social-networking stalwart Facebook is redesigning its site to allow users easier access to an array of applications that might include search options, Forbes reports, and give advertisers more ways to reach the Facebook community.

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, who left Google earlier this year, said Facebook’s intimate knowledge of its users gave it a unique pathway to offer advertisers.
