Facebook has a search option where other logged in users can search for people. Most commonly, a logged in Facebook user can search for a person’s name, and the search will list all the search criteria. To narrow down the search, they can search for your full name and it will list everyone matching that criteria.
If you are one of those people who doesn’t want to be listed on Search or don’t want to be found by anyone except your friends, Follow the method below.
- Login to Facebook
- Go to the Privacy (it is situated on the top right hand corner)
- Click on Search (After Profile)
- You will see a dropdown under Which Facebook users can find me in search?
- Change that to Only my friends
- You can also un-tick the following according to your preference.
- People in college networks
- People in high school networks
- People in company networks
- People in regional networks
- People with no networks
That’s it! See the following screenshot for more info.
