getAnywhere(), as Uwe suggested, will find objects that are in attached
packages.  help.search(), as Doug suggested, will find help topics among
installed packages.  To search among all CRAN (and BioC) packages, your best
best is RSiteSearch("fcn", restrict="function").  The result is not shown in
R, though.
