Earlier i was searching for groups with a particular keyword on facebook using - https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=query&type=group&access_token=abcd..

Since last month it has stopped working. This search now returns always for any keyword an empty data array. While for types page,user,event,post still returns proper results. This happened by the time versioning was introduced. I tested also with the Graph API Explorer with different versions and none worked. You can check it from here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/

There's an open bug at FB for this. See my answer here: Search for Groups in Facebook with FacePy not working I don't think that there's anything you can do at the moment except wait and hope FB will fix this soon.

As Tobi mentioned there is a bug for this on Facebook. If you face the same issue subscribe here: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/862756217087760/

The more developers subscribe, the soonest we'll have a fix i guess.
