Scope: UK data.gov.uk · 64,306 datasets across 1,480 organisations.

Live server-side full-text search via CKAN Action API 3
(`package_search`). Unlike SG's broken v2 REST search, UK CKAN
FTS works properly — Solr syntax supported: quoted phrases,
boolean AND/OR, wildcards.

Args:
    query: Solr full-text query. Empty string browses all
           (returns sorted by metadata_modified desc).
    organization: exact org slug filter (e.g.
                  "office-for-national-statistics"). Discover
                  slugs via `uk_list_organizations`.
    format: exact resource format filter (e.g. "CSV", "GeoJSON",
            "SHP", "XLS"). Matches ANY resource on the dataset.
    limit: max results (default 20, hard cap 100).

Returns dict with `data: [{name, title, org, license,
license_title, num_resources, formats, updated, url}, ...]`
sorted by CKAN default (relevance if query set, updated desc
otherwise) and `note` with total match count.

License: portal default Open Government Licence v3
(OGL-UK-3.0) · per-dataset license_id may override. ~41k of
64k datasets have null license_id and default to portal OGL v3
by T&C — do NOT silently backfill; check per-row `license`.
