Struggling with facebook privacy settings - help!!?

[Valentina]

My best mate had her public search disabled for a while because she'd been through a lot of stress. She has recently enabled the public search settings with the privacy settings on her Facebook but people who look her up can't find her via her name or email address. We have started a small business up selling crafts recently and a new friend had looked at my profile before adding me and couldn't see any of my best friend's comments on my facebook profile!!! We have checked and checked my best mate's privacy settings including 'How you connect' which is set to Everyone and that Everyone can see her wall posts, etc. Has anyone had a similar problem? The Facebook help centre just tells us to do the same stuff we've already done! We wondered if it takes a while for the settings to change over?
