Hi,
I have options(help_type="html") in my .Rprofile and when I type
?foo, the man page appears as a new tab in my web browser (which is
already running). Fine. However, when I type ??foo, rather than the
results appearing in a new tab, a new instance of the web browser is
spawned with the default homepage displayed. Same with
help.search("foo"). Am I the only one seeing this? Is there some
setting/option that I am missing?
(At the moment, I bring up a man page via ?foo and then manually
follow the<Index> link at the bottom of the page to go up to the
search engine page.) R --vanilla shows the results of ??foo in the
terminal window as expected.
I just tried it on Windows, and got this error message in R-devel:

Error in shell.exec(url) :
'http://127.0.0.1: 13432 /doc/html/Search?pattern= mean '
not found
Looks like some spaces have crept into the URL. I'll take a look.
(R-patched was fine.)
