If you've got something to hide, perhaps it's not a smart idea to put it in a public place to begin with?

I really don't see how Google displaying someone's Steam profile upon search matters.

My profile page (with the exact custom ID) has 20 saved cache pages on it, and I don't care about that either.

That's why I don't write anything too explicit in public places to begin with.

Anyway, your profile page, as is now, consists of nothing too interesting for anyone to take out of. Neither does its cached page,

So I don't see what you're particularly paranoid of. Someone seeing what you've played? Make your profile private.

Now apply the same logic backwards, what are the odds someone cares enough to do that to look up your friend's information which may or may not be there?
