Hi,

might be that I totally miss something, but situation is as follows. I have an account, bvd@diaspora.wwguestbook.nl, and unchecked the option of people being able to find me. Now, if you e.g. on diasp.org will search for bvd, indeed you do not find me. However:

- search for bvd@diaspora.wwguestbook.nl exactly and you still can find me and start sharing
- I can still be found as https://diasp.org/people/72859

That does not seem to match the intuition of people wanting not to be found by others? And the latter seems to enable me to stroll down and spam the whole database if I want to?
