Wishlist - Give R a name that shows up in search engines ...

Indeed, when I was writing code in Java or VBA and I needed code, say to buble sort or invert a CDF, I could find many examples on the web since the user base was so large. R has something better: CRAN. It was really smart to make a central repository where useRs can share code. No other language that I can think of really has an equivalent. All I have to do it search CRAN and I can find 99% of what out there (I'm making a guess on the actual number here).
Don't forget, there's also life outside CRAN ;) /Henrik
Besides, I don't need to write bubble sort routines anymore because almost everything I need is already built into R. On 3/7/06, Liaw, Andy <andy_liaw at merck.com> wrote:

Nobody seems to have mentioned the RSiteSearch() function which automagically restrict the search to domains relevant to the contect of "our" use of the letter R. I quite like that as I tend to have an R prompt open when I am puzzled by R questions ...
My guess is that people were hoping to find things outside of what Jon made available or what's on or linked from www.r-project.org. I believe that's not going to be very productive (at least for now). I don't think there's a whole lot of things related to R that isn't found in those two places. Andy
