How did you get those Top 10 final results? There's a manual aspect to aggregating FB Activity Log data, which makes me doubt your table with thousands of queries over 2 years.I have a username and password for the Facebook account of an ex-girlfriend.
.....
In case you didn't know, Facebook saves everybody's search queries. To give some substance to my high score theory, I went into her search history and made a list of the men she's searched for, how many times each month she searched for them, gave them points for each search, and also gave bonus points for her continued interest in them.

The Facebook Query Language(FQL) APIs I looked at don't have a query for search history data, although FQL has had a few API versions, and I haven't reviewed them all. I ask because there is too much bad data analytics out there, or else Nate Silver wouldn't have been such a big deal during the 2012 election. You can't be conclusive with one metric either, or else you end up with a conclusion like ice cream causes polio.
So, to support your assumption that she is searching old flames, please give a sense of how often she searched other people, like her family and girl friends. Women use FB more, and search more, as part of putting together social events, and doing their homework before any kind of communication. They look for recent news before asking how people are doing, before asking for support for some school drive or other social activity. She could also be searching these guys if one of her friends is dating him, because that's a potential awkward point. Or if these guys have dramatic lives, then they search to enjoy gossiping about the drama. But if she's just searching these guys, and not anyone else, then that might support your conclusions.
