RWsearch stands for « Search in R packages, task views, CRAN and in the Web ».
RWsearch is a management tool that serves several purposes:
Compare to other packages (packagefinder, websearchr) or web services (RDocumentation, rdrr) with similar objectives, the search options of RWsearch are more sophisticated and allow for a finer search. RWsearch also addresses a much larger number of web search engines. Non-standard evaluation (or evaluation of non-standard content) makes it user friendly.
This vignette deals with point 8. Points 1 to 7 are discussed in other vignettes.
Web search engines are major tools to explore the web. Some search engines explores the full web when some other search engines are restricted to a specific website. To remember their favorite search engines, people record them as quick links in their browser. Why not store them directly in an R package and hide in the R functions the specific syntax of each search engine? This is the W of RWsearch.
This version of RWsearch has aleady referred more then 60 web search engines. We expect this number to grow thanks to the contribution of everyone.
