Google search place api, places not found

Somes places are not found from google api, It used to return results before the last update but it does not anymore.

examples :

Pizza hut - france

Domino's pizza - france

In & out burger - los angeles

etc..

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?sensor=false&location=34.029900,-118.255463&radius=5000&key=API_KEY&name=In-N-Out%20Burger

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?sensor=false&location=48.847194,2.408152&radius=5000&key=API_KEY&name=Pizza%20Hut

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?sensor=false&location=48.847194,2.408152&radius=5000&key=API_KEY&name=Domino's%20Pizza

Had the same issue but solved it this way:

For spaces: have to enclose the whole name in double quotes: %22name%20with%20spaces%22 For quotes: have to encode them as a space: Domino%20s

I tried it with your pizza hut example and got results back with my key
