Dear list, The name of R-language is too short and is not friendly to search engines. Do you think it can be renamed to something like "Rsio" or "Radio" ? Thank you so much for this useful software! Best wishes. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Try searching with: r-project CRAN Or use: Rseek.org Or use: allinurl:r-project in a google search Or: http://code.google.com/hosting/search?q=label:R+ At one point I used `language:r` but I can find no support in the google search documentation that currently supports that strategy. -- David Winsemius, MD West Hartford, CT
No. There are search tools that work. The RSiteSearch() function and the
rseek.org website are two such options.

It knows what R means. For me, the top 5 hits when searching for "R" have to do with the R project. (You may not get such good results; Google adapts its results to what it knows about you.) How far down the list do *you* need to look before you find something relevant? Duncan Murdoch

I mean if we took the acronym for: Really Amazing Statistical Package Unlike Those Institutionally Nurtured you might have to pick through a few pages of hits about the Romanoff family to get your hits, but think of the image.
