Search Engine

Search

You can search for keywords, function and data names and text in help page titles.

Usage: Enter a string in the text field below and hit RETURN.

For search to work, you need Java installed and both Java and JavaScript enabled in your browser.
On the Mozilla/Netscape family of browsers you should see `Applet SearchEngine started' at the left edge of the status bar. For help consult the R Installation and Administration manual.

On Mozilla-based browsers the links on the results page will become inactive if you return to it: to work around this you can open a link in a new tab or window.

Even if this search does not work on your system, you can always use help.search at the R prompt.
