[BUG-134249] Removing Profile from search is not working. #2275
Comments
Whirly Fizzle commented at 2017-09-04T17:35:26Z I think the "show in search" setting for avatars only updates twice a day, ~ every 12 hours. |

The way that setting works has always been a big cause of confusion. Before web profiles, the behaviour used to be that unticking Show In Search would hide your name from search results under Search -> Everything (because this search was available on the web via world.secondlife.com) but your name would still be found under Search -> people. Since web profiles & since SL search has been updated, the current behaviour appears to be that Show in Search has zero effect - when Show in Search is disabled, your name/profile will still show in Websearch -> Everything & Websearch -> People both in the viewer and on https://search.secondlife.com/, even for users not logged into secondlife.com. Looking at this comment on WEB-3603, I'd say this is expected behaviour:
You can now decide what information is visible on your web profile via the Preference settings at https://my.secondlife.com/settings/privacy too. Two other points to note:
So tl/dr: |
Whirly Fizzle commented at 2017-09-05T14:26:58Z After some digging I think I found the one place that "Show in search" actually makes a difference. The old search results at http://world.secondlife.com/resident/a20e5d25-8099-4240-9b06-dcdd2e2af199 |
Steps to Reproduce
The following steps I have taken:
I cleaned cache and web browser cache.
I checked the profile - feed and its privacy settings.
I tried and checked in the Official SL Viewer and Firestorm.
Search for different names who are set on private but all were visible.
I also checked it with another account where search profile was disabled.
This account has no friends, groups, classified, land or show place in search.
Still this profile was visible in search.
Actual Behavior
I unchecked my profile not to show up in search. However it is still visible.
Expected Behavior
In a situation when privacy is needed I would like my profile to be private.
