We were just browsing thru our settings and noticed that in the privacy section there is an option to view profiles through web browsers(ie google) after typing in our username in google hey up pops our profile just a note of warning for people that didnt know about this function you can and possibly SHOULD turn it off, happy swinging and be safe

First thing we did when we joined was disable this function, for those only just doing so, you will still appear in the search results for a while.

However people would have to know your username to do a search and I haven't come across any profile that has a person's real full name eg Joe Bloggs

Not only will it link to you profile if not disabled google will display your images from here which of course is more recognisable.
