I did this a while ago. I think keeping your worlds separate, so to speak, is a healthy thing. If I want someone to know about me on Facebook I will either tell them where they can find me or I'll go looking for them, but on Facebook, not through a search engine.

How long does it take to remove it from the search engine. I just disabled the setting but when I search it still shows?
S.Pradeep Kumar
Just few hours Amy. 🙂

Nice find. It will be indeed quite useful if one intends to hide from the public search.

This is important if someone want to keep his Facebook profile completely private. But my FB profile is public and can be viewed in search engines. Cause I don't want to make it private 🙂
