Google Orkut profiles in Google search

Some orkut profiles appear in Google search results as an orkut OneBox. A OneBox is a summary of your orkut profile, including key details like your name, photo and location. A OneBox appears only when someone who is signed in to orkut performs a search on Google.com for friends or friends of friends in their network.

You have the same privacy settings for the OneBox as you do for your full orkut profile, so no information you've made private in orkut will appear in Google search results. Additionally, you can opt-out of the orkut OneBox altogether:

1. On the left sidebar of the orkut homepage, click settings.
2. Click the privacy tab.
3. Under orkut in Google search results, click the radio button next to 'hide information.'
4. Click save changes at the bottom of the page.

Please note: we can't manually select whose profiles will appear in Google search results as a OneBox.
