Why does the Facebook Public Search via API return different results when using an access token and when not? <p>You can try it out yourself.</p> <p>Be logged in to Facebook and go here: <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/" rel="nofollow">https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/</a></p> <p>Hit the first link in the "Searching" section, called <a href="https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=watermelon&amp;type=post" rel="nofollow">https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=watermelon&amp;type=post</a>. Be sure that it contains your access token as a parameter. Look at the results.</p> <p>Now remove the access token from the url, hit enter, and look at the results again. They differ. Why?</p> <p>As far as I'm concerned, the search method does not make use of any permissions. So why is the result not the same?</p>
