helpSearchWeb {svMisc} | R Documentation |
Retrieve web documents, messages in R mailing lists, or wiki containing
apropos
string.
helpSearchWeb(apropos, type = c("google", "archive", "wiki"), browse = TRUE)
apropos |
The string to search |
type |
The search engine, or location to use |
browse |
Do we actually show the page in the Web browser? |
Returns the URL used invisibly (invoked for its side effect of opening the web
browser with the search result, when browse = TRUE
)
The RSiteSearch
function in the 'utils' package is much more complete
but it does not search specific places, like the R Wiki. So, this function
is a complement.
