I'm coming late to this thread, so I don't know if anyone mentioned RSiteSearch. See http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/library/utils/html/RSiteSearch.html You can also do this directly through a browser (which is how I usually do it).
In the RSiteSearch() function use restrict="functions". In the web page at http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/, in the search page uncheck the boxes except for Functions. True, this doesn't get everything because people use different words for the same thing (especially economists), but I find that it usually works when I'm looking for a function. When you find the function, there is a header at the top that says what package it is in.
