The searcher
package (CRAN, GitHub) provides a search interface to look up terms on popular websites such as ‘Google’, ‘Bing’, ‘DuckDuckGo’, ‘Startpage’, ‘StackOverflow’, ‘RStudio Community’, ‘GitHub’, and ‘BitBucket’. Upon calling a search_*()
function, a browser window will open with the search results for the query.
Within this release, searcher
gains the ability to search the RStudio Community, improved documentation, and a new vignette on search patterns. In addition, the search_ixquick()
function was deprecated in favor of search_startpage()
as the company behind the search engines consolidated to startpage. Lastly, searcher
joins the r-assist GitHub Organization in anticipation of a series of automated help tools being built.
