We used to have a setting that controlled who can look up your timeline
using your name. We removed that setting because your timeline could be
discovered in other ways in connection with your name. For example, if
you selected Friends or Friends of Friends for this
setting, it only prevented your timeline from showing up in search
results. It didn't prevent a link to your timeline from showing up in
search connected to other posts, like posts you're tagged in. It also
didn't prevent your timeline from being discovered through other search
terms like employment, college, location, etc. Additionally, anyone who
knew your unique timeline address (with either your User ID or
username), could find your timeline. Many people used this control to prevent unwanted friend requests or messages. To control who can send you a friend request or a Facebook message:
- Click the account menu
at the top right of any Facebook page and choose Privacy Settings - Next to the How You Connect heading, click Edit Settings
- Select your preference from the dropdown menu next to Who can send you friend requests? or Who can send you Facebook messages?
