help.search -- excellent
I'm a bit confused though -- doc seems to say that ??pattern is same
as
help.search(pattern) but it doesn't work that way for me...I'd been
trying
?? for some time without success.
I thought the docs on this point were misleading, too, but later
realized I was expecting too much of the interpreter. See:
??"allequal" # does what you wanted.
help.search(allequal) # so this doesn't work either
For example,
??allequal #returns
No documentation for '?allequal' in specified packages and libraries:
you could try '???allequal'
Too many "?" ?
It looks like it is treating "?allequal" as the input to the ?
function...
Any idea what I need to get this work correctly?
Thanks
?help.search
help.search("allequal")
help.search(apropos="allequal")
??allequal
