My search site (below) also allows searching functions.  The
problem I often find is that the terms used in the query are not
in the help files for the functions, or even in the r-help
discussion of them.  I think there is no solution to this
problem, unless someone wants to write a program that translates
(e.g.) from economics-English to psychology-English and both to
statistics-English.
