In our blog today, we will tell you how to block your Facebook profile from being searched in the search engine. As an example, Facebook profiles are available to everyone who wants to find them (Anyone). This allows users to view your profile, contact you or send friend requests to You. By using Facebook’s various options, you can prevent your profile from being found through traditional search queries.
Let’s Set up your Facebook Profile so that you can’t be searched by Anyone :
