Facebook Graph search by location doesnt return page

when I perform this query:

search?q=fuckin&type=place&center=50.9305992,6.9384799&distance=1000&limit=2000&fields=id,name

i'd expect this page to be in the results: 686513714751273

Name: "Fuckin' Monday"

but its not. even if I leave the q= empty and put latitide/longitude right on the event with a radius of 2000 it doesn't find it. does it have to do with the "fuckin" and fb thinks its inappropriate? But then why does a direct query for the page ID work?

Are you looking for the Facebook Page of a place ? Or for an actual Place object ?

For me it works with a Page for type. (HTTP Encoded)

graph.facebook.com/search?q=fuckin%27%20monday&type=page&limit=2000&fields=id,name&center=50.9305992,6.9384799&distance=1000

OR (HTTP Encoded)

graph.facebook.com/search?q=fuckin&type=page&limit=2000&fields=id,name&center=50.9305992,6.9384799&distance=1000

So you should specify in the Type the object type, not the Facebook Page type. If that was your intention. (since your Question title indicates an actual page)

Output example :

{
"data": [
    {
      "id": "293987407372110",
      "name": "Fuckin' Monday Madrid"
    },
    {
      "id": "686513714751273",
      "name": "Fuckin' Monday Köln"
    },
    {
      "id": "159859830745544",
      "name": "Metal Fuckin' Mondays"
    },
    {
      "id": "137862186385028",
      "name": "Fuckin' Monday München"
    },
    {
      "id": "304288229704190",
      "name": "Fuckin' Monday Lille"
    },
    {
      "id": "275769749221137",
      "name": "Fuckin Mondays"
    },
    {
      "id": "608070615956303",
      "name": "Fuckin' Monday Berlin"
    },
    {
      "id": "340716655944732",
      "name": "Fuckin' Mondays"
    }
}

Note : If you are actually looking for a place my answer is invalid.

EDIT 1 : Now I modified according to your comments with Event

graph.facebook.com/search?q=fuckin' monday&type=event&limit=2000&center=50.9305992,6.9384799&distance=1000

Output is now

Seems that the locations are still ignored because I get it from across the world.
