"LJ has rolled out a new "feature" whereby your account is now searchable by the email address you registered with, unless you opt out. If the set "people you want to know your LJ exists" doesn't entirely contain the set "people who have your email address," you can go to the Edit Profile page, scroll down to Contact Info, "Find by email," and turn email searching off."
Edit: to quote further from the entry: LJ is claiming it's opt-in. In LJ's universe, "opt-in" means "allowing opt-out via a pop-up window at the home page (which users with a client or a persistent cookie and bookmarks do not visit as a matter of course) on the first login after the new feature is rolled out, but the feature is active until then."
