question on Facebook privacy setting. got a stalker on my hand.?
You know in Facebook privacy setting, you can set it so that either everyone, friends of friends, or friends only can search for you in the Facebook search right? So if you had it set so that only friends of friends can search you on Facebook, then strangers can't find you if they typed your name into the Facebook search box.

Well, there is another setting on Facebook called Public Search which you either disable or enable. Enabling it would allow people to search you on Google, and have your profile show up in the result.

My question is, which if you enable Public Search, yet set your Facebook search to "friends only" or "friends of friends", then can a stranger (who can't search you on Facebook) still find you using Google?

I mean, seems like a conflict here. Any guru know?
Thanks

The best way to keep a "stalker" from looking at your page is to make it completely private. Limit searches to "Friends Only" and disable public search. That's how my page is. Friends of friends are still able to find me through my friends. But I'm not searchable. Also, don't include any personal info from showing up like your email, phone number, address, etc.
