I use to install the R Site Search Sidebar in firefox.

http://addictedtor.free.fr/rsitesearch/

Unfortunalely you can not install it in new versions
of firefox unlees you disable "checkCompatiblity" and
"checkUpdateSecurity" on firefox (which is not recommendable).
Still I do it and is my favorite search engine when 
I am trying to find any topic in some R package.

I love the R logo in the bottom left side of the firefox browser.
Somebody told me that it is like the "secret" logo the hackers
use on the film "The Net" (1995) with Sandra Bullock.

Have a good R searching.

Kenneth
