For R-help I've been using: http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.r-project.r-help To find documentation, I use: install.packages("sos") library(sos) findFn("topic items") You could conceivably use Googles advanced search with the site set to the "true" Archives. https://www.google.com/search?as_q=words+to+search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=https%3A%2F%2Fstat.ethz.ch%2Fpipermail%2Fr-help%2F&as_occt=any&safe=images&as_filetype=&as_rights= -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA 'Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.' -Gehm's Corollary to Clarke's Third Law ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
