Things the next person would otherwise rediscover the hard way

There is no documented REST API for this data and no key. The Public Search Tool is a Salesforce Lightning community; its search runs over the Aura endpoint. The Apex class and methods were captured by driving one real search in a headless Chrome under CDP and reading the request off the wire — blind guessing at Apex class names does not work, because a wrong class and a wrong method return the byte-identical No apex action available for X.y.
