what happened to inside-r? [possibly OT]

No, not off the grid. I just don't follow developments with Revolution
or with Microsoft.

I was merely lamenting that inside-r URLs, that used to get me quickly
to the R help pages (even if I was at a computer that did not have R),
now re-direct to the corporate MRAN homepage, with the help pages
nowhere to be found. Alas!

But thanks anyway.

Presumably, Revolution's portfolio of web-domains got assimilated and redirected to the corporate homepage. There are valid concerns that might explain such a move. You might as some of the Revolution/Microsoft about the possibility of a resurrection (or, perhaps, whether the same information is now available at a different location).

If I prepend with "R" and an R function name in a Google search I generally see a link to a manual page at https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/

Microsoft's version of CRAN (called of course, MRAN) has hyperlinked listings of

packages at https://mran.microsoft.com/packages/ and
Task Views at https://mran.microsoft.com/taskview/ 

DataCamp.com has a search engine for functions in CRAN and BioConductor (11095 packages) at

http://www.rdocumentation.org/

and Task Views at http://www.rdocumentation.org/taskviews
