Graph API SEARCH not returning public posts done on a page

Question

I'm trying to get posts with a certain keyword (in fact, a hashtag), but I'm not receiving all posts. For example, there are a lot of posts done by users on a certain page that are not being pulled although they're public. The call I do is similar to this one:

https://graph.facebook.com/search?type=post&q=keyword&access_token=XXXXX

Not sure if this type of posts are considered public but only retrievable by specifying the page:

https://graph.facebook.com/PAGE_ID/feed?access_token=XXXXX

But I need to retrieve all public posts containing a certain keyword and I don't know exactly which pages could users post to with this hashtag...

Be aware that Facebook has just taken down public post search in Graph API v2.0 so you won't be available to do that anymore.

Check https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/upgrading under section Graph API "Public post search is no longer available. (/search?type=post&q=foobar)"

Oh, thank you very much! I can't believe that they're taking down this feature... As Facebook has hashtags but people is not able to search by using them!
