5. Uncheck “Enable public search” option. This will hide your profile from search results, so that noone can find you using facebook search engine. Other search engines like Google cache information and some of your timeline data still can be found for a period of time after you turn public search off. You can easily check it with our Facebook Search tool which includes data from Google search engine.
