title: Searching public profiles using Facebook Graph API
body: <p>I am looking to search Facebook public profiles using the Graph API with parameters like name, location and age. To accomplish this I created a Facebook app to get an app ID but I am unsure as to how to proceed to make the query to the API. </p>
  
  <p>To try it out I tried using the explorer (<a href="https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/</a>) but I am unable to get any results that does not contain "me". I made sure to get a access token and enter a query like the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>search?q=tobias&amp;type=user&amp;fields=id,name
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The only reply is: </p>
  
  <pre><code>{
     "data": [
     ]
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I feel like I am missing something but I have been unable to figure out what, please advice.</p>
