You did the right thing by hiding yourself, but it is not instant. You must wait until Google re-crawls the web. I would give it a few days and check again. Let me know if it works.

It is still possible to do this.

My guess is that if you have your settings to friends of friends, then Facebook does not create a public entry on search engines, but I have not confirmed this.

is it still possible to do this?

and is the trade off that you have to make your profile viewable to ‘everyone’ on facebook in order to get removed rom google search?

interesting. i’d like to be unsearchable (well, friends of friends is fine on fb) in both locations.

Dan,

Thanks for the tip, that is a very interesting note. I am going to modify my post to accommodate that, not sure how many people read all the comments.

It’s worth saying that for the checkbox to turn up your inter-facebook search setting must be set to “Everyone”. I had it set to “Friends of friends” and I was turning up in google search results, with no option to turn it off.
