title: Google Places API Not Returning Results
body: <p>I'm working with the Places API and having difficulty getting responses.</p>
  
  <p>Here is a sample query using the name Google</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/findplacefromtext/json?input=Google&amp;inputtype=textquery&amp;fields=photos,formatted_address,name,rating,opening_hours,geometry&amp;key=key" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/findplacefromtext/json?input=Google&amp;inputtype=textquery&amp;fields=photos,formatted_address,name,rating,opening_hours,geometry&amp;key=key</a></p>
  
  <p>returns :</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      candidates: [ ],
      status: "ZERO_RESULTS"
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However If I do:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/findplacefromtext/json?input=Museum%20of%20Contemporary%20Art%20Australia&amp;inputtype=textquery&amp;fields=photos,formatted_address,name,rating,opening_hours,geometry&amp;key=key" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/findplacefromtext/json?input=Museum%20of%20Contemporary%20Art%20Australia&amp;inputtype=textquery&amp;fields=photos,formatted_address,name,rating,opening_hours,geometry&amp;key=key</a></p>
  
  <p>I get results</p>
  
  <p>Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I just enabled my billing because it said my account was over limit due to no billing.</p>
  
  <p>Not sure how to proceed.</p>
