What is search_courses?
Searches https://ucas.com course listings by full text and academic year. Returns paginated course records with provider, location, study options, subjects, and course IDs for detail lookups. It runs on Notte's browser infrastructure and returns structured JSON, so you can call it like any other API — pass query, academic_year, page, page_size and get the result back without maintaining a scraper.
