[R] R 2.5.0 Help - problems with search
Hello- I recently upgraded from R 2.4.1 to R 2.5.0 and have tried to used the search engine with minimal results. When I enter the command,> help.start()My browser opens with the main html interface. When I click the link for the search engine, the search page comes up, but when I enter a search term the result is always "undefined". I am looking on my end for browser setting options, but would like to know if there was an error in installation that I am not aware of. Thanks, Matt [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

When you get to the Search Engine page, take note of the following text below the search buttons: "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." Check on the above, including the additional information on the manual link page and if you still have no resolution, post back with further details. HTH, Marc Schwartz
