There is also sos::findFn, discussed in a vignette included in that
package. When I created that package, I felt it was the fastest
literature search for anything statistical: It will identify all help
pages that match a search string and sort them by package. It creates
an object so related searches can be combined by union or intersection.
And the print method by default creates two pages in your default
browser, one listing the help pages and the second giving the package
summary.

Hello,
Actually, I only found it at the second try. The RSiteSearch webpage
has a search bar, I've used it search binGroup* and found it on screen 3.

binGroup2 (version 1.02) was released 2020-04-07. There was one update on 2021-03-17
(according to available.versions("binGroup2").
My last system update was (I assume) recent. My system is governed by my
University. I get monthly updates, rarely more often. My version of R is 4.1.
I tried Rui's suggestion (thank you) of searching using R. I read through the
list several times but did not find binGroup2, though it is possible that it
was there as binGroup.... and I need to open all the documents to find it.

When was binGroup2 released?
When is your last system update?

If I want help on a package I can usually go to google and type "package.name in
r" and I get what I need in the first few hits. Google typically offers suggestions
if my spelling is a bit off, and I get hits that are close. I searched for the binGroup
package in the usual way and found that it is no longer supported. I asked the authors
only to discover that there is a binGroup2 package.
If I search for "tidyv in R" I get tidyverse.
Any idea why I did not get binGroup2 in the binGroup search?
