Why can't anyone find me on Facebook?

[Fibrebird]

I changed my privacy settings to "everyone" and still cannot be found by people. Help!

Is your account in your real name? If so, can people not find you under your real name?

Fibrebrid,

Do you mean people can’t find you in Facebook search? Google Search? Perhaps you made a mistake with your privacy settings or maybe your account is too new? Most of the time when this happens it is because an account is protected via privacy settings.

Best,

Shawn

To be found, you need to find out few friends as your network grows you ll be easily found and will be visible to everyone.

Fibrebrid,

I think you should recheck your privacy settings on Facebook, You have to make sure anyone can search you via email or your name.
Hope it helps!

Shawn, yes I mean Google and other searches as well as Facebook. I have checked my privacy settings and they seem to be ok. My account is not new either. I will play around some more with the settings and see if I get anywhere. Thanks for your answer.

[Fibrebird]

Yes, account is my real name.

I think your question begs another question: What have you done so far to be found?

[jainteq]

I doubt that you might have done some changes in privacy settings, if not then increase your friends list and make more unique and interseting posts. So that more users can find you.

If it's not a privacy issue, then.. if you aren't 18 yet, it's probably one of their options in order to keep your details safe.
