orkut profiles made public to Google search results

In the previous post,I have mentioned that orkut profiles are still not public. I guess some Google folk read that, and a new feature is included in orkut privacy settings i.e. orkut in Google search results. It says "show my orkut information when my orkut friends search for me on Google.com". Can't an unknown person search for you?

orkut help tells it is still in experimental mode and uses Onebox to display key details.

"A OneBox appears only when someone who is logged in to orkut performs a search on Google.com for another orkut user"
If someone is logged into orkut won't he go for orkut universal search?

So, the description is a bit confusing. Since, this feature is enabled for a small chunk of orkut users, I have tried to draw a picture of how it will look like in Google search results. (based on my imagination, actual results may differ)
But, with this step internet researchers, social media marketing people have to regenerate their report. At last but not the least, people who do not put their real name on orkut or use special characters instead of English alphabets, revert back to the name your parents have given to you.
