RSiteSearch("convex hull") does produce a page on my web-browser, but have you tried to follow links on the page? I got 404's about a third of the time , although admittedly I was earlier generalizing on the basis of 3 404's in a row. And I was further generalizing from earlier experience when support for searching the rhelp archive was abandoned.
