Seems that one of the slashed is dropped after the protocol prefix, i.e. http:/search.r-project.org/... should be http://search.r-project.org/... Someone else has to take it from here. /Henrik On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 2:03 PM, Rolf Turner <r.turner at auckland.ac.nz> wrote:
I tried to search for a string of words ``as one entity'' following the example in the help file:
RSiteSearch("{logistic regression}")
and got the error message:

That's not much like what I get on Mac OS (10.5.4, from the command line), where it works for me, as it does on Windows, Linux and Solaris. I get /usr/bin/open "http://search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query={logistic+regression}&max=20&result=normal&sort=score&idxname=Rhelp02a&idxname=functions&idxname=docs" (on one line). Something has messed up the query, and debug(browseURL) or debug(RSiteSearch) might help track down what.

R version 2.7.2 (2008-08-25) i386-apple-darwin8.11.1 locale: C attached base packages: [1] datasets utils stats graphics grDevices methods base other attached packages: [1] misc_0.0-6 fortunes_1.3-5 MASS_7.2-44 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.7.2 Is this a Mac-only issue, or does it happen elsewise? What if anything can I do about it?
Ask on R-sig-mac?
