This URL is listed under "Search" in the main R page. The ability to search functions is, I think, the main advantage of this site over using Google. To make it work, I simply installed all the packages.

Another possible solution: I wrote some functions to grab all of the
INDEX files from CRAN, structure their contents as a data frame, and
search within that list.

or available as part of my "bbmisc" package from

(Feedback is welcome, if anyone ever actually uses it.)

Does anyone know how to access/list the value labels stored in a SPSS .sav file? At the moment I can read in variables using read.spss() (foreign package), but have to power up SPSS to check value labels.
