title: Workaround for Facebook Graph Search for user
body: <p>Apologies if this is a duplicate, but I've searched and can't find any recent questions that are relevant.</p>
  
  <p>The Facebook Graph Search API call to search for users has been deprecated since last year, and no longer works. See this bug report:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/453298034751100?browse=search_516534c213df06064266897" rel="nofollow">https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/453298034751100?browse=search_516534c213df06064266897</a></p>
  
  <p>All the existing questions I can find on Stackoverflow which address user searching predate this bug report, so none of them have any useful answers now.</p>
  
  <p>So my question is, has anyone found a reliable workaround for this? Is there any other way of automated searching for users on Facebook by either name or public email address?</p>
