Dear Andy, Duncan, et al.
Based on comments from Andy and Duncan, I'd like to revise my
proposal as follows:
1. Rename the current "RSiteSearch.function" to
"findFunction" and the package name from "RSiteSearch.function" to
"findFunction", with "findFun" being an alias fo

If it were an entry on the Rgui menu on Windows then at
least Windows users could get to it quickly regardless of
the name.

Having RSiteSearch.function be a strict superset of RSiteSearch might
make sense but giving them the same name seems too heavy
handed unless done via OO which seems not applicable here since
R's version is not generic and the two use the same class, "character",
anyways.

sure, but this does not, in any way, make it less strange that gsub is
not vectorized.

yes, and r graph gallery. those two would be easy to implement once the

There is something to be said for taking all of these functions,
including the original RSiteSearch, out of utils and putting them in
the new RSiteSearch package. These are the sorts of things that will
get revised frequently, and this way (I think) we won't have to bother

1. Whatever we do with the "RSiteSearch" function, it should
still be available every time R starts. If we put it in its own
package, it should still be autoloaded with "base", "utils", "stats", etc.

Searching vignettes only can be of interest to users. If someone is

But help really needs to be delivered with R, not an addon.
It should not be necessary to know how to install packages
just to get this level of help. I think it needs to be where it
is now.

I agree! Recall, though, I had added the RSiteSearch() functionality
to the Rgui under Windows (Help / search.r-project.org...), so if
RSiteSearch() is taken out, this need to go, too.

We could have a few functions similar to RSiteSearch or gmaneSearch I
just posted and then cook a summary html page with R ...

About this:

group = "gmane.comp.lang.r.*", author = "", sort = c("relevance",

op = c("and", "or") ){
sort <- match.arg(sort)
