Friends Lock - I can has?

[teyla]

Found this link on jantalaimon's journal - thank you!

You know how the new profile advertises the Search option with a nice blue-colored spelled-out link right next to your entry count? Well, this search option was on the old profiles as well, but it was a little magnifying glass that nobody ever seems to have used, judging from the frowny-faced posts about the 'new' search option I see cropping up everywhere.

This search option might make it possible for people to view your friends-locked entries even if they are not on your f-list.

ETA: Or maybe not! LJ is being as confusing as always. Go here for some clarifications.

If you don't want that to happen, go here and follow the instructions.

Thanks!

Most of my posts are public, but the ones I lock I lock for a reason.

I'd already clicked to block one of the search options after Botgate, but I didn't know about LJ Search getting up to the same shenanigans.

That is incorrect, and always has been. I'm willing to bet that the person who posted that didn't check to see whether all three of those results were for the journal of the person in question. LJSeek searches all of LJ, not just your journal.

What is this epic fuckery?
