As there is nothing Debian-specific in this bug report (and the .deb of the JVW is not from Debian either), I am forwarding this to R-bugs. My recollection from recent discussions on the R mailing list is that currently /no/ browser other than Netscape supports the Java search engine -- is that correct or was there some Netscape derivative (galeon?) which does? Maybe the documentation should be

Dear list, I have to read some clinical data a file coming from Filemaker on Macintosh (Ugh ! But it could be worse and come from Excel...).

Hi ! I'm trying to install Dragon Naturally Speaking in a WINE "fake windows" setup, and I have troubles with InstallShield.

R 1.5.1 is due to come out ... and I've just noticed that the R help.start page search applet doesn't work on my Mandrake 8.2 system even though I've upgraded mozilla to version 1.0 and I have a perfectly working java (all right, I'm using 1.4.0 now, but with mozilla 0.98 and java 1.3.1 it still didn't work). I had thought the problem due to a too-old mozilla version, but it

When I type help.start() in R, it brings up the proper search

Hi, After the installation I can't search, clicking on "Search Engine & Keywords" gives me a 404, file not found. I can concatenate SearchEngine-head and -foot.html into SearchEngine.html which allows me to search, but I'm missing the key words. Finally the question: What happened that SearchEngine.html is not generated at install time? Thanks, -tom

I've just posted an email to R-help with instructions on creating a Firefox keyword search of the R documentation: https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2004-November/059272.html The method involves bookmarking the RHOME/doc/html/search/SearchObject.html file. Currently this page is set up to only search help page titles: line = line + document.SearchEngine.search

Not really an R question but I'm hoping someone can help me out.

Hi, Ha, I was reading this thread thinking TheyWorkForYou (which I help maintain) does highlight terms wherever they are, and then you mentioned it :) The code is open source; it is quite old and probably hair-raising, but as you say it does basically do what you want.
