Default OT Will search engines find my webpage?

Yesterday I found out when he mailed me a glossy advertisement for the
service deparatment that the dealer where I bought a used car 6 months
ago made up a webpage with my first and last name as part of the url.
And my home address on the page.

I've gone to a lot of trouble to keep my home address out of the phone
book and off the web.

My name is in the high level domain area, between www and .com.

Do you think search engines will find it? So far I think they
haven't.




I'm embarrassed to say that I forgot** that the ad they mailed me
contained the password for the webpage, so IIUC that means even if
google comes up with the webpage, it wlll still require a password,
which no one else will have.

I hope you all don't feel I wasted too much of your time.

**I only used the password once, then kept looking back at the page
for 3 days. I don't think I would have forgotten about the password
10 years ago.
