Friend suggestions can be based on a partial view of the social graph - - for example, each user may be able to see their friends and their friends' friends, which would enable an algorithm running on their own device to suggest friends' friends who they may know, without anyone (including the service providers) having a complete view of the social graph. Limited searching would also be possible using a partial view, and would support the 'best' use cases for the feature (reconnect with old friends, find that person you were talking to at that party) without allowing people to look up complete strangers.
