## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a startup founder needs to quickly discover and compare software product alternatives with up-to-date web sources and links, especially when evaluating tool migrations or competitive options in the SaaS/startup ecosystem. Prefer this over generic search when you want founder-focused framing and curated comparison results rather than raw search engine output.

## Known failure modes

- Overly broad query returns generic results not specific to startup context
- max_results exceeding 10 returns a validation error
- No relevant results found for a very niche or obscure product
- Payment not processed results in 402 response blocking access
- Stale or low-quality web sources returned if topic is rarely indexed
