I'm developing a website that required a Facebook Fan page, an app for sharing and authorizing and another app as a tab app for the page.

Now I'm facing a problem that when one searches the Facebook, all these three instances appears in the search, and the bad thing is that the Official Fan Page is third in the results :(

I wonder if there's any way to remove these apps from search results without removing them as I'd like to save all the likes these apps have received?

Thanks!

Ensure that social discovery is disabled (Settings > Advanced > Social Discovery).

Edit: Since this doesn't work (see @Igy's comment), I would try to merge these apps into one.

  • That setting doesn't affect search visibility of the app profile page itself – Igy Dec 21 '11 at 16:12
  • Not that I know of. Pick one app, and try to replicate the functionality of the other two. – Ryre Dec 22 '11 at 15:42

There is no way to remove apps from search, but as per https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/611/ the app profile pages are deprecated and will be removed in a few months
