1. Request API authorization with below body, notice the 'userType' is 'admin'
    "scope":{
      "userId":"yourId",
      "companyId":"yourCompany",
      "userType":"admin",
      "resourceType":"learning_public_api"
    }} 
2. Run the API call and get error "Unauthorized access to catalog search"

3. Notice the API call is  'user/catalogSearch/v1'

The issue arises because the user type of requested authorization is not correct.

'user/catalogSearch/v1' API should use user type authorization.

Set the "userType" in the authorization request body as "user".

Alternatively,  API call 'admin/catalog-service/v1' can be used with admin type authorization.
