Contacts API v3, group query parameter does not support the 'q' parameter??? In the Google Contacts API v3, it clearly says it is supported. But, when I am using java client library provided by google, to search contract groups by setFullTextQuery in query, I am getting HTTP status 403 Forbidden. Throws "Exception in thread "main" com.google.gdata.util.ServiceForbiddenException: Forbidden
This service does not support the 'q' parameter."

I have downloaded latest Java Client Library: GData-Java/1.47.1(gzip) for GDATA. Try to use the setFullTextQuery method for searching contact groups.

**What steps will reproduce the problem?**

1. Setup Java Sample Contacts
2. In ContactsExample.java, in queryEntries method, add a new line. myQuery.setFullTextQuery("Your search term here");
3. And run it

I checked the version is correct, it is using GData-Version: 3.0
If run the sample java as it is provided, everything runs fine. But, I need to search the contacts. And using 'q' parameter should be the right approach.

Please help. Is it something wrong in the library, or I need to take a different approach to search contacts?
