The "sos" package is designed to search help pages only and sort the results by package. It includes a vignette describing how to get the results as an Excel file giving an efficient summary of which packages contain help pages of interest including the latest date updated, etc. I designed the package to be the quickest lit search for anything statistical, and I don't know of anything better. I may want to look elsewhere later, but I always start a lit search there. I suspect that others have not found it that useful or someone else would have mentioned it earlier on this thread ;-) Spencer

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!
