[BioC] direct text search of PubMed from Bioconductor?

[Kimpel, Mark William]

I am quite familiar with using functions such as getPMID() to get abstracts from PubMed, but would like to be able to execute PubMed searches using text (such as gene names or aliases) directly from within R. Does BioConductor offer such functionality?

Thanks,

Mark W. Kimpel MD
