Hi, Sarah: You were correct: I failed to read the question with sufficient care. Thanks for your original reply and for the correction. Spencer

sos is a great way to search help pages, agreed. But the question is
about functions AND mailing list archives, which requires an online
solution. (See subject line.)

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!
