Search for pages via Graph API, response empty

Question

When I send the request search?type=page&q=test&access_token=[access_token] to Graph API, the response is empty data. Is there a problem with the access token or is there something missing from the request URI? I also can't seem to find a comprehensive documentation of the search method, only that for places search.

This is the response I'm getting:

{
  "data": [
  ]
}

Facebook made a lot of changes recently:

You can no longer use the /search endpoint with the following object types:

• event
• group
• page
• user
