Resolve a Norwegian company NAME to its 9-digit organisasjonsnummer. Use this as your FIRST call whenever you have a company's name but NOT its org_number — every other company tool requires the 9-digit number, and guessing a MOD-11-valid number risks hitting the wrong company. Searches Brønnøysund's public Enhetsregisteret and returns a token-efficient candidate list: up to ten matches, five fields each (name, org_number, org_form, municipality, registry status). Follow-up: pick the right candidate's org_number (skip a deleted or bankrupt match unless you meant it), then call get_company_summary or get_company_context with it. Input: { name } (2–100 chars, æ/ø/å supported). On NOT_FOUND, broaden the name and drop the legal form — never loop on the same name. Failure modes: VALIDATION_FAILED, NOT_FOUND, SCOPE_INSUFFICIENT (needs read:brreg), UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT / UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE. No sandbox mirror — the sandbox fixtures catalog already lists every synthetic org. Docs: https://www.apier.no/docs/guides/norwegian-company-register-search
