This is a short code snippet that is motivated by this thread on r-help yesterday. The gallery contains a search engine textbox (top-right) that can be used to search for content in the website using either its internal crude search engine or perform a google search restricted to the gallery.
Here we write a small R function that can be used to take advantage of the search engine, from R
rgg.search <- function( topic, engine = c("Google", "RGG") ){
engine <- match.arg( engine )
url <- URLencode( sprintf( "http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/search.php?q=%s&engine=%s", topic, engine ) )
browseURL( url )
}
rgg.search( "Andrews plot" )
