what does it mean when you search for people of facebook and the word timeline shows up under their name?

[boo]

When I was typing someone's name in the searchbox on facebook cause I just met them and wanted to add them, I saw the word timeline in grey under their name while I was searching for them on facebook.

that just means that the link brings you to their timeline... their profile - it's the same thing

it's to make you not confuse someone's timeline/profile with a page that has the same name

apparently there are a lot of malicious little kids out there who are trying to create problems by using real peoples' names as the name of their page, and this is facebook's way of preventing them from getting away with it
