How can I make my Facebook profile 100% private?

The only way to have your facebook profile 100% private is to not have one :-).

No matter how private your page is, someone can still search for you by name or email address, your default picture will still show up on search results if your profile is private.

Like others have suggested you need to make your privacy settings to "friends only", however you also need to do this for you photos, notes, wall, etc. There is also a setting for "only me" however, then your friends wouldn't be able to see your pictures or anything else.

Outside of changing your name to a fake name and using an alterante email address, there is no way to be 100% anonymous or hidden on facebook. You could perhaps for your name information not include your last name, just the first 3 letters of it, but even if you did that if someone typed your whole name it may believe that someone didnt know how to spell it and give "similar" or "close" searches.

If you go to google and just type in your first name and the city/state you live in, you'd be surprised how much your information is really out there that you're not aware of. If you type the same thing in for google images, if your facebook profile picture may even show up.
