Will GroupService.findGroupsPaging() method find Restricted & Personal groups?

I am using this method to find public group and it works fine for public group. But when i tried to use this method for finding "Restricted" / "Personal" groups, the code fails. the groupArray size returned is zero.

I am using the below code for finding group which works for public group & does not work for personal / restricted group.
GroupService grpService = getGroupService();
                                        GroupSearch grpSearch = new GroupSearch();
                                        grpSearch.setGroupName(groupName);
                                        grpSearch.setOperatorGroupName(GroupSearch.Operators.EQUALS);

                                        ResultPage allGroupsResultPage = new ResultPage();
                                        int startIndex = 0;
                                        int batchSize = Constants.COUNT_ALL;
                                        allGroupsResultPage = grpService.findGroupsPaging(grpSearch, false, startIndex, batchSize,Group.SORT_BY_GROUP_NAME, Constants.SORT_ORDER_ASCENDING);

please suggest how to find personal / retstricted groups using the API.

Are you trying to search it through a user that has access to those groups? If not, this should be the expected behavior

I am not trying to search it through user. I want to directly search a private / restricted group . My requirement is to search for a private / restricted group and if the group is not present, then to create a new group.

Currently since findgroup is always returning zero results, the new group gets created always and i want to fix it.

Thanks
