I wondered this recently and found the answer.

If somebody has looked you up and then you press the recommended friends button then it comes up with people that have looked you up and linked friends (in common). So they have looked you up. FB doesn't know as such, it cant possibly.

Initially I thought it was a bit stalkerish but then I thought...hang on, NO....Im doing the same (looking people up to see if I know them, the right person) and Im out there in public on FB, so they aren't hunting me down lol. Its not as though I don't want to be found yet they went to weird lengths to find me, that didn't happen.
