similar to: Search engine fails entirely (PR#4966)

I'm having trouble with the HTML-based search engine, and I'd be grateful for any advice. I am using Mozilla Firebird 0.7 on Debian 3.0 with R 1.8.0. (I've also had the trouble with Mozilla Firebird 0.6 on Debian 3.0. I also use Mozilla Firebird 0.6 on Windows XP, and I have no trouble with the HTML-based search engine.) When I type help.start() in R, it brings up the proper search

Full_Name: Anthony Westerling Version: 1.7.0 OS: Mac OS X 10.2.5 Submission from: (NULL) (64.203.9.4) R includes a very nice search engine web page which installs at /usr/local/lib/R/doc/html/search/SearchEngine.html. The search engine and keywords links do not work on my Mac G4s running OS X 10.2.5, and this appears to be independent of choice of browser. This appears to be a Mac-specific

Not really an R question but I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm having problems with the R help page "The R language" and Mozilla 1.3 with the Java 2 runtime environment 1.4.1_02 under Windows XP. The problems occur on the "Search Engine & Keywords" page. I can open two links, but after that links aren't recognized. The problem seems to be javascript

I'm running R-2.1.0 on a Linux box and found that the HTML search engine help would not work with Firefox 1.0.3 but would work with Mozilla 1.7.7. I have Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0_02 installed. With Firefox, when I launch help.start() and click to the search engine, it brings up the first page with "Applet SearchEngine started" in the status bar, but clicking on one of the

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

I had to reinstall my machine, so I installed Firefox 0.9 as browser I am using WinXP and R 1.9.1 beta. Now search in R html help does not work. I checked that the Java VM is working correctlt, Sun's test site says my installation is OK. Firefoxalso tells me that Applet Searchengine loaded Applet Searchengine started it just does not find anything. Does anybody know how to solve this? Erich

Hello, Sorry if this question was already asked (I though it was... but did not found the exact answer in the archives). I use R 2.2.0 and just updated to Firefox 1.5 (note that I already got the same result with Firefox 1.x.x) under Win XP sp2 US (full details of my config hereunder). When I try to use the HTML help search page, I can make a search: the message 'Applet SearchEngine

I am running R on a corporate Windows XP SP2 machine on which I do not have administrator privileges or access to most settings in Control Panel. R is installed from my limited user account. The version of the JVM I have installed is perhaps best described as antique: > system(paste("java -version"),show.output.on.console=T) java version "1.4.1" Java(TM) 2 Runtime

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

Full_Name: Anton Zgonc Version: 1.8.1 OS: Linux RH 9.0 Submission from: (NULL) (193.2.208.9) The SearchEngine, accessible through generated documentation by help.start() like: file:/tmp/Rtmp2085/.R/doc/html/search/SearchEngine.html or on WWW: http://www.stat.ucl.ac.be/ISdidactique/Rhelp/doc/html/search/SearchEngine.html works only in Netscape 4.7x. It fails e.g. with Mozilla 1.3, 1.6 and IE

I am using R 2.7.1 under Windows XP, installed at C:/R/R-2.7.1. The location of the HTML SearchEngine is file:///C:/R/R-2.7.1/doc/html/search/SearchEngine.html. Now, when I type a phrase, say "reshape", in the search text field, the Search Results page suggest that the location of the reshape HTML help file is file:///C:/R/library/stats/html/reshape.html, while in reality it is

Full_Name: St?phane Gourichon Version: R 1.7.1 (2003-06-16). OS: GNU/Linux Submission from: (NULL) (132.227.205.226) The HTML help is great. But the search engine is broken. It used to work in Galeon 1.x, not Konqueror 3.0 . Now it doesn't work, neither on Mozilla 1.6 / Firebird 0.6 / Firefox 0.8 nor Konqueror 3.2 which are IMHO the latest versions of those advanced, standard-compliant

I would like to compile for Windows a rather simple R package that contains some C code. It does not contain any Fortran code. I tried the cross-compilation route using the pre-built set of tools from http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/Xmingw32/, as described in $R_SRC/src/gnuwin32/INSTALL Using the sources in r-devel from the rsync site I am able to build libR.a in src/gnuwin32 but I

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

I am having problems installing R under Fedora Core 3. I installed R using YUM yum -install R. The basic installation appears to have worked, I can start and run R. When I try to start the HTML help system, I get the errors listed below. Any help solving my problem would be appreciated. Thanks John Sorkin R intalled using YUM under Red Hat Fedora Core 3.

I hesitate to report this one because it is very likely system dependent, and I have very little faith in my browser. Still, it may point to something useful for someone to know. On NT4, after help.start() brings up the web interface just fine (despite the pessimistic warning on the terminal; is that still necessary?), I can do apparaently anything in the help system, except search. If I'm

If you've 'rediscovered the web' with Firefox (http://getfirefox.com), you might find this tip handy. Suppose you want to search the (local) R documentation for information about the lme function. Wouldn't it be nice to just type into the browser address bar: r lme and have the search performed? Here's how (on Windows): Click on this link:

I''ve been working on an AJAX search, very similar to the Flickr one in the screencast linked from the main rails page. I''ve been doing my testing in Safari, where everything has worked fine, only to now discover the results of the search action seem disinclined to load in Firefox. I can enter a URL to return the HTML fragment that''s supposed to be dropped into
