Search a national company register by name, when you have a name rather than an identifier. `country="NO"` searches Brønnøysundregistrene / Enhetsregisteret (brreg) — the norway company lookup for the norwegian business registry when the organisasjonsnummer (orgnr, org.nr) is not yet known; `country="GB"` is the uk company search at Companies House, returning each hit's company number (company registration number, CRN). **Sweden cannot be searched by name.** Bolagsverket's free API has four operations and none takes a company name, so `country="SE"` raises `not_implemented` — a fact about the register, not a temporary gap, and it will not start working. Sweden supports lookup by identifier only: call `lookup_company` with the ten-digit organisationsnummer (or a sole trader's twelve-digit personnummer), or `validate_company_id` first to check the shape for free. Bolagsverket publishes the whole register as bulk downloadable files for callers who must search by name. Then call `lookup_company` with the `id` of the right hit for the full report — a search hit is deliberately thin (name, legal form, status, city) and must not be acted on directly. Hits arrive in the register's own relevance order, so read each hit's `confidence` rather than assuming the first row is best. Zero hits is not an error, and `hint` says what to try next — Norwegian names are registered upper-case and often carry an 'AS', 'ASA' or 'NUF' suffix, UK names a 'LIMITED', 'LTD', 'PLC' or 'LLP' one, worth dropping before concluding a company does not exist. Errors are the `{"error": {"code", "message", "hint"}}` envelope this server's instructions set out code by code; `hint` names the next call. Call `list_countries` if you are unsure a country is supported.
