For hardware reasons (disk space, CPU performance) there is currently no search facility at the R master webserver itself. However, due to the very active R user community (without which R would not be what it is today) there are other possibilities to search in R web pages and mail archives:

• An R site search is provided by Jonathan Baron at the University of Pennsylvania, United States. This engine lets you search help files, manuals, and mailing list archives.

• Searchable mail archives of the three mailing lists are provided by Robert King at the University of Newcastle, Australia.

• Gmane's R-lists mirrors several of our lists, with web, news, and RSS interfaces and search facilities.

Thanks to all of them!

In addition, you can always use the advanced search feature of the Google search engine:
