Page missing in search results from /pages/search endpoint
5

when using the /pages/search with the query "minnesota zoo", I expect the following page to be included in the search result:

URL: https://www.facebook.com/mnzoo Page Name: Minnesota Zoo Page ID: 136257148787

The search results include a different unofficial page with the same name, so I would expect the page above to be included as well.

Please let me know if you need any further information, thanks

Yes, lots of pages/locations missing now. For example if you want to search for "Melbourne" there's not one called "Melbourne", you have to choose from locations in melbourne which can be random.

We also have this behaviour. Not a single unofficial page is returned any longer.

We run into the same issue. And it got even worse because I am unable to find any unofficial pages now using /pages/search.

Using the page username in the query will work for you. Here's an example query:

pages/search?q=mnzoo&fields=id,name,location,link,is_unclaimed,verification_status

Now, your page appears in the first position:

{ "data": [ { "id": "136257148787", "name": "Minnesota Zoo", "location": { "city": "Apple Valley", "country": "United States", "latitude": 44.76229, "longitude": -93.19206, "state": "MN", "street": "13000 Zoo Blvd", "zip": "55124" }, "link": "https://www.facebook.com/136257148787", "is_unclaimed": false, "verification_status": "blue_verified" }, { "id": "1630276150393136", "name": "𝓜𝓷𝓩𝓸𝓞", "location": { "city": "Kathmandu", "country": "Nepal", "latitude": 27.69329, "longitude": 85.32227 }, "link": "https://www.facebook.com/1630276150393136", "is_unclaimed": false, "verification_status": "not_verified" },
