Various search engines for R documents

Description

Documentation about R is widespread and not always easy to find. These functions look for documents in various places.

Usage

    add.bibRNews = TRUE, ...)
searchMailing(query, max = 30, groups = "*", prefix = "gmane.comp.lang.r")
searchGraph(query, max = 30)
searchPackage(query, max = 30)
searchWiki(query, max = 30)

## S3 method for class 'search'
print(x, detailed = TRUE, ...)
browse(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'search'
browse(object, item = 1, ...)
searchBiblio(query, max = 30, url = "http://journal.r-project.org/RJournal.bib",
    add.bibRNews = TRUE, ...)
searchMailing(query, max = 30, groups = "*", prefix = "gmane.comp.lang.r")
searchGraph(query, max = 30)
searchPackage(query, max = 30)
searchWiki(query, max = 30)

## S3 method for class 'search'
print(x, detailed = TRUE, ...)
browse(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'search'
browse(object, item = 1, ...)

Arguments

`query`	one or several topics to search for.
`max`	maximum number of items to return.
`url`	the url from where the BibTeX file describing R Jounal articles can be downloaded.
`add.bibRNews`	also add data for R News (local cached version)?
`...`	further arguments passed to the function or method.
`groups`	the mailing lists and newsgroups sections to search.
`prefix`	the gmane tree for the discussion archives.
`x`	a 'search' object.
`detailed`	do we print a detailled list of found items?
`object`	a 'search' object.
`item`	the index of the found item to browse.

All the searchXXX() functions return a 'search' object that inherits from 'data.frame'. It contains the 'type' or search, the 'item' found, the 'page' in the item, a 'snippet' of the relevant text, a 'score' for this hit and the 'url' where the containt can be obtained.

The print() method presents the results in a more readable way, and one can browse() one item in the list.

Builds a tree structure of an R source file

sidekick(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'function'
sidekick(x, ...) 
sidekick(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'character'
sidekick(x, encoding = getOption("encoding"), delete.file = FALSE, ...)
## Default S3 method:
sidekick(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'function'
sidekick(x, ...)

Arguments

`x`	a file to `parse` and analyse. If `x` is a function, it is first dumped into a file.
`encoding`	encoding to use. Default to the encoding option (see options).
`delete.file`	should the file be delete when the function exits?
`...`	further arguments to pass to the method.
