The privacy setting Do you want search engines outside Facebook to link to your profile? controls if people who enter your name on a public search engine may get a link to your profile as a result.
If you've turned this setting off but you're still showing up in search engine results:
Facebook doesn't have control over content that has already been indexed and cached in search engines. This means the information may still be saved in a search engine's cache or search memory. The link may appear until the search engine updates and deletes it, but the link will not be valid.
  • To request the immediate removal of this search listing, you'll have to contact the specific search engine’s support team.
