Someone keeps searching for me on google and it is freaking me out.

I keep getting email alerts from an academic website that I've signed up for that someone searched for me on google. The state and country location is the same each time so it seems to be the same person, and I think I know who it is. More details after the jump.

I have a very bare bones profile on this academic website that lets you know when someone searches you. I know that the search is conducted on my name because the analytics give you the search words that led to your profile.

The reason why this is freaking me out is that I'm almost certain this is a person I knew casually years ago who had developed an obsession with me. They were part of a group of people I used to hang out with and and their behaviour started turning disturbing (some kind of effed up infatuation)so I had to take measures to cut off contact. I had to threaten legal action for them to leave me alone. I have since completely cut off from that group and this specific person hasn't tried to make contact again directly. But I'm pretty certain that they're the one who keeps searching for me on google and this is making me extremely uncomfortable.

I looked over all the notifications I received in the past 4 years from this website and they searched for my name around 10 times a year. The last year was less, only about 3 times but still the searches are consistent every single year. I guess my question is, how worried should I be? This is creeping me out beyond belief but I don't know if there is anything at all I can do because this person is searching for me on google. I have always had this subtle anxiety in the back of my mind that they would try to make contact again and I've been comforted only by the fact that they haven't (about 6 years now) but knowing that they keep searching my name is beyond disturbing. Is there anything I should be doing to protect myself? Has anyone dealt with anything similar? Please share your thoughts, I would appreciate it tremendously.
