Not sure if this is more of an R-help topic. I use
options(useFancyQuotes = FALSE)
in my .Rprofile.

I find it useful to be able to search documentation for strings with
quotes, for example when reading "?options" I might search for
"'dev" to find an option starting with the letters "dev". Without
the single-quote at the front, there would be a lot of matches that
I'm not interested in, but the single-quote at the front helps
narrow it down to the parameters that are being indexed in the
documentation. However, I can't actually search for "'dev" in
"?options" because it is written with curly quotes "‘device’" and
"'" does not match "‘" on my machine.
Similarly, when I read manual pages for commands on Linux, I
sometimes search for "-r" instead of "r" because "-r" is likely to
find documentation for the option "-r", while searching for "r" will
match almost every line.
I'm wondering what other people do when reading through
documentation. Do you search for things at all or just read it
straight through? Is there a hyperlinked version that just lets you
jump to the "device" entry in "?options" or do you have to type out
a search string? What search string do you use? Do you have a way to
enter Unicode quotes when doing this, or does your pager provide a
special regular expression syntax which makes it easier to match
them?
Thanks,
Frederick
