UCL site search (Funnelback tenancy)

UCL's website and module-catalogue search runs on Funnelback (Squiz) at search2.ucl.ac.uk, on UCL's own registrable domain. It is the only surface in this profile that returns a machine-readable JSON response to an unauthenticated request: /s/search.json?query=&collection= answered HTTP 200 with a Funnelback result packet on 2026-08-19. The index and its content are UCL's; the request and response contract is Funnelback's product API, identical across every Funnelback customer, so it is recorded as a tenancy and the contract is not saved under UCL. UCL publishes no documentation presenting this as a public API.
