What is search_software_catalog?
Searches CNET's software catalog on https://download.com and returns up to 10 matching products with descriptions, platforms, categories, ratings, and product links. Supports relevance, popularity, or release-date sorting. It runs on Notte's browser infrastructure and returns structured JSON, so you can call it like any other API — pass query, platform, sort, limit and get the result back without maintaining a scraper.
