Google Custom Search Engine for R
Whereas "R" is very generic, "CRAN" is much less so. I've had very good luck adding CRAN to my search terms, e.g. try to Google cran 3d scatterplot This produces all R-related hits on the first Google page.

I think the custom google search engine is a good idea. It would be helpful if we could have access to the full list of websites it is indexing so that we could make suggestions about other sites that are missing. As it is, it only tells us that there are 35 websites, and shows us the first several. Also, you might check out Sasha Goodman's Rseek: http://www.rseek.org/ Have you tried to compare the success of yours with Rseek? All the Best, Matt

Hi, Since "R" is a (very) generic name, I've been having some trouble searching the web for this topic. Due to this, I've just created a Google Custom Search Engine that includes several of the most relevant sites that have information on R. See it in action at: http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=018133866098353049407%3Aozv9awtetwy This is really a preliminary test. Feel free to add yourself to the project and contribute with suggestions.
