The privacy settings of your Facebook profile can either be public or private. Public Facebook profiles appear in Facebook search results when someone searches for your name in Facebook. In addition to this, public Facebook profiles may also appear on Google search results and other directory search results e.g Pipl search. When real world friends look for you using a search engine, this setting makes it possible for them to see a preview of your Facebook profile (containing only info that’s available to everyone).

If you are concerned about the privacy of your Facebook profile and don’t want your Facebook profile to be shown in search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL or Bing, you should change your Facebook profile’s privacy settings from Public to Private. This will ensure that your Facebook profile can not be found from Google search and it’s completely removed from search engines and other user search directories.

There are different settings to customize whether your Facebook profiles appears in Facebook search or in Google search. Both the procedures are explained below in details:
