Change your search settings to friends of friends can only find you. When you have your settings set to everyone being able to find you, it makes your facebook obviously public for anyone to see.

You can find the settings page on the right top of the website near privacy settings.
Even after changing your settings, settings may need a day or more to come into effect.

There isn't a whole lot you can do. Google does allow you to submit a removal, but it's not always effective.

There's the link to try to remove the content with your name in it. You need a Google/Gmail account.

You can run but you can't hide.

The final check box is about public search engine indexing. Uncheck it and click save settings.

You'll have to change your privacy settings to make your profile unsearchable that also means that people won't be able to add you on facebook you'll have to add them.
