Does this happen to your facebook?? easy question, 10 points :)?
-
hi :) one of my friends from school who i just have gotten to know added me on facebook the other day, but she said that when she typed in my name, no searches came up. she said that she had to go to one of our mutual friend's friend list to find me. so my question is how come when you type someones name in the search bar (when you know they have facebook) it doesn't show up, but when you go through someone else's profile, you can see them there?? just curious. thanks :)

Answer:
If you have your search settings on friends only then other people wouldn't be able to find you, but you would still appear on people's friend lists

If your name was normal eg. John Smith then you can find it but if you put like other stuff on it like ♪John Smith♪ <<< or something like that then they cant find you hope this helps =)
Could be due to your settings :)
This is due to your account settings: 1.Go to your account tab 2.Click Privacy settings 3.go to Search 4. There should be two choose to allow ppl to search you 1) "Facebook search results" Who can see your search result on Facebook 2) "Public search results" This setting only allows search engines to access your publicly available information and any information you set to Everyone. This does not include anything you've shared with just your friends or friends of friends. You pick the "facebook search results and change it to either everyone - everyone in facebook can view and search your profile, friends of friends - where your friend's friend can see you and add you from her profile (which i think this is your orignal setting) and finally only friends - where only your added friends on facebook can see you. If you want ppl to search you - choose Everyone if you still want the original settings dont change it if you only want your friends that are in your profile to only know you have facebook then choose only friends where no one else but your friends only know you have facebook.
