I can confirm that Facebook suggests people that have looked up your name.

I don't use FB on my phone, never have. Hence no location/IP/network data. I have not filled out where I work, but searched the place up once before.

A coworker who wanted to friend me and presumably searched for my name still gets suggested as possible friend a year after I quit the place. We have no possible mutual friends, I have never been on his profile, or searched the names of any of my coworkers.
