cprd.search: Search the Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum Dictionary

Searches user-supplied Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) Aurum medical dictionaries to support the development of medical code lists. Provides case-insensitive keyword searches with AND, OR, and exclusion logic, optional regular expressions, approximate matching of complete terms, observation-count filtering, column selection, and deduplicated combinations of results. Exports results to comma-separated files while preserving character identifiers. Includes synthetic example data; real dictionaries must be obtained separately from CPRD <https://www.cprd.com/>.
