Why Does the Same Facebook Profile Keep Appearing at the Top of My Search Suggestions?

I’ve been Facebook friends with someone for about 8 months, and we literally never interact. They don’t view my stories, like my posts, or visit my page as far as I know, and I don’t interact with their stuff either.

But for the last few months, their profile has constantly been at the very top of my Facebook search suggestions. Like every single time. It honestly became kind of funny because other profiles would move around, but they always stayed at #1. I post pretty frequently for work-related reasons, while they barely post at all.

Then recently they disappeared from search altogether, didn't move down just gone, and I assumed Facebook finally recalculated something. But the next day they showed back up again, just lower down around #3 instead of #1. Then after about 16 hours, they disappeared again. This same cycle has been happening for the last 4 days.

I’m curious… is Facebook’s algorithm just being weird, or what?
