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.
