[R] Best way to search r- functions and mailing list?
R-helpers: It looks like http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/search.html has stopped spidering the mailing lists -- this used to be my go-to site for searching for R solutions. Are there any good replacements for this? I want to be able to search both functions and mailing lists at the same time. Cheers! --j -- Jonathan A.

sos is a great way to search help pages, agreed. But the question is about functions AND mailing list archives, which requires an online solution. (See subject line.)
