[R] Best way to search r- functions and mailing list?
R-helpers: It looks like http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/search.html has stopped spidering the mailing lists -- this used to be my go-to site for searching for R solutions. Are there any good replacements for this? I want to be able to search both functions and mailing lists at the same time. Cheers! --j -- Jonathan A.

Re: [R] Best way to search r- functions and mailing list?
The sos package is designed to search help pages only and sort the results by package. It includes a vignette describing how to get the results as an Excel file giving an efficient summary of which packages contain help pages of interest including the latest date updated, etc. I designed the package to be the quickest lit search for anything statistical, and I don't know of anything better. I may want to look elsewhere later, but I always start a lit search there. I suspect that others have not found it that useful or someone else would have mentioned it earlier on this thread ;-) Spencer On 4/5/2012 9:40 AM, Sarah Goslee wrote: I usually use http://www.rseek.org On Thu, Apr 5, 2012 at 11:36 AM, Jonathan Greenbergj...@illinois.edu wrote: R-helpers: It looks like http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/search.html has stopped spidering the mailing lists -- this used to be my go-to site for searching for R solutions.

Re: [R] Best way to search r- functions and mailing list?
sos is a great way to search help pages, agreed. But the question is about functions AND mailing list archives, which requires an online solution. (See subject line.)

Hi, Sarah: You were correct: I failed to read the question with sufficient care. Thanks for your original reply and for the correction.
