Google place API key

Question

So my question is.. I have created a map activity & I am using the google place API key for requests to find locations on the map. I have took the basic structure of the search function & I am trying to use it in order to get results.. but I have 2 problems with this. 1. My API key is limited to 1 search per day.. cant understand why. 2. when I am running a search with it I always get zero results.. also don't know why. Can some one please help me with this issue ? Thx. Nimrod

Below, is my search line :

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/findplacefromtext/json?input= "+Uri.encode(query)+"&inputtype=textquery&fields=photos,formatted_address,name&key="+apiKey
