No, generally, individuals cannot see if you've googled them. Most search engines, including Google, do not notify people when someone searches for their name. However, if you click on links such as social media profiles, LinkedIn might notify the user of profile views if they have that feature enabled. To avoid leaving digital footprints, consider browsing in incognito or private mode, especially when researching sensitive or personal information.
