RSiteSearch has really been broken for some time now. (You get the headers but 
the links are all broken. A more effective way of searching the existing CRAN 
package base (but I think r-forge and github will be missed) is:

install.packages("sos")
library(sos)
findFn("convex hull ")

I use Markmail to search the archives, but one can also use Gmane or Rseek.org. 

Both markmail and gmane have the defect that copied code comes to my console or 
editor without line-ends. If anyone has a hint on how to avoid that annoyance, 
I'll be in your debt.
