SOLVED

The solution I've found: with Opera browser, right click over button "Search for you on Facebook" and select "Inspect element" (botton of context menu). Then, edit the HTML code of the page. Two branches below you will find something like "<select name="UIPrivacyWidget[93849583]">. Unfold this element. If you find a value of "80", change it to "40" -friends only-:

<option value="40" selected="1">Friends only</option>

(Use the right button over the value to change it)

Finish edit element with Opera "Inspect element". And that's all. It works.

(Another option -not tested-: save the page, edit it whith any HTML or basic text editor, change that value and item, save again and execute it)



PS: @theimmaculatecrown

In order to finish editing, close the window "Inspect element" (click on the upper right "X" of the editing window). And wait for Facebook autoreload (a few seconds).

@Master of the Universe I don't understand this part "Finish edit element with Opera "Inspect element" Are you saying to rt click again and select "inspect element"? If so, it's not working for me.

Edit:@Master of the Universe Will the drop box visually change to "Friends Only"? The page does not seem to reload and when I reload it manually I still see no change.

It wooooooorrrkkkkssssss!!!

Awesome!! Astounding!! Amazing!! Colossal!!

THANKS SO MUCH, Master of the Universe!!


Edit:

I have tested other values:

<option value="80">Everyone</option>

<option value="40" selected="1">Friends only</option>

<option value="50" selected="1">Friends of friends</option>

<option value="111" selected="1">Only me</option>

and all of them work.

It's the first time I change Facebook code. It's very easy override abuses and tyrannical decisions of Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg.
