When you login to facebook, You will find that number of checkboxes on the Privacy Settings for Search page. You need to Unchecking these boxes, This will hide your profile from search results, as well as restrict what people can do with those search results. This can prevent you from people poking you, seeing your photo, adding you as a friend. If you find any issue reply me.

Recently, Facebook has introduced new and much improved Privacy settings page that gave you more control on what content is seen by public and friends. Before some time facebook has allowed to indexing the people profile on google, that anybody search your profile and send spam on that profile.
