This is an interesting find. I don't necessarily care about "BangWithFriends", but I am curious if you still show up on those searches if you set the privacy to "Only me" when you signup in any app. Does that hide you from searches on the Open Graph (in respect to app usage)?

I ask this because I frequently signup with Facebook on some apps, and purposely put it to "Only me" privacy, to keep my activity hidden from my Facebook friends. I would hope that doing so, would keep me out of those types of Open Graph searches. Can anyone confirm/deny this (I don't have Open Graph Search, yet)?

By changing the app privacy to "Only me" it doesn't appear in Open Graph searches

Now the app developers have to see if they can have that as the default privacy setting for anyone who uses the app and this should be truly private info after that.

You can set that default. See screenshot from https://developers.facebook.com/apps/[APP_ID]/permissions: http://bluetide.pro/k6sP/2HAHipbX - Just change "Default Activity Privacy" to "Only me".
