CRAN package search
The seer package searches all CRAN packages. It uses a web service,
and a careful weighting that ranks popular packages before less
frequently used ones.
Installation
Install the package from github, using devtools:
devtools::install_github("metacran/seer")Usage
The current API is very minimal, the most important is the see() function,
that does the search:
library(seer)

By default it returns a short summary of the ten best search hits. Their
details can be printed by using the format = "long" option of see(),
or just calling see() again, without any arguments, after a search:

#> ----------------
#> # Seamless R and C++ Integration
#> The 'Rcpp' package provides R functions as well as C++ classes which offer a seamless
#> integration of R and C++. Many R data types and objects can be mapped back and forth
#> to C++ equivalents which facilitates both writing of new code as well as easier
#> integration of third-party libraries. Documentation about 'Rcpp' is provided by
#> several vignettes included in this package, via the 'Rcpp Gallery' site at
#> <http://gallery.rcpp.org>, the paper by Eddelbuettel and Francois (2011, JSS), and
#> the book by Eddelbuettel (2013, Springer); see 'citation("Rcpp")' for details on
#> these last two.

#> 2 BH @ 1.62.0-1 Dirk Eddelbuettel, 6 months ago
#> ---------------
#> # Boost C++ Header Files
#> Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. A large part of
#> Boost is provided as C++ template code which is resolved entirely at compile-time
#> without linking. This package aims to provide the most useful subset of Boost
#> libraries for template use among CRAN package. By placing these libraries in this
#> package, we offer a more efficient distribution system for CRAN as replication of
#> this code in the sources of other packages is avoided. As of release 1.62.0-1, the
#> following Boost libraries are included: 'algorithm' 'any' 'atomic' 'bimap' 'bind'
#> 'circular_buffer' 'concept' 'config' 'container' 'date'_'time' 'detail'
#> 'dynamic_bitset' 'exception' 'filesystem' 'flyweight' 'foreach' 'functional' 'fusion'
#> 'geometry' 'graph' 'heap' 'icl' 'integer' 'interprocess' 'intrusive' 'io' 'iostreams'
#> 'iterator' 'math' 'move' 'mpl' 'multiprcecision' 'numeric' 'pending' 'phoenix'
#> 'preprocessor' 'propery_tree' 'random' 'range' 'scope_exit' 'smart_ptr' 'spirit'
#> 'tuple' 'type_traits' 'typeof' 'unordered' 'utility' 'uuid'.

#> 3 inline @ 0.3.14 Dirk Eddelbuettel, 2 years ago
#> -----------------
#> # Functions to Inline C, C++, Fortran Function Calls from R
#> Functionality to dynamically define R functions and S4 methods with inlined C, C++ or
#> Fortran code supporting .C and .Call calling conventions.
#>
#> 4 geometry @ 0.3-6 David C. Sterratt, 2 years ago
#> ------------------
#> # Mesh Generation and Surface Tesselation
#> Makes the qhull library (www.qhull.org) available in R, in a similar manner as in
#> Octave and MATLAB. Qhull computes convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, halfspace
#> intersections about a point, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site Delaunay triangulations,
#> and furthest-site Voronoi diagrams. It runs in 2-d, 3-d, 4-d, and higher dimensions.
#> It implements the Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull. Qhull does not
#> support constrained Delaunay triangulations, or mesh generation of non-convex
#> objects, but the package does include some R functions that allow for this. Currently
#> the package only gives access to Delaunay triangulation and convex hull computation.

#> 5 SnowballC @ 0.5.1 Milan Bouchet-Valat, 3 years ago
#> -------------------
#> # Snowball stemmers based on the C libstemmer UTF-8 library
#> An R interface to the C libstemmer library that implements<U+000a>Porter's word
#> stemming algorithm for collapsing words to a common<U+000a>root to aid comparison of
#> vocabulary. Currently supported languages are<U+000a>Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish,
#> French, German, Hungarian, Italian,<U+000a>Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian,
#> Spanish, Swedish<U+000a>and Turkish.

#>
#> 6 optimx @ 2013.8.7 John C Nash, 3 years ago
#> -------------------
#> # A Replacement and Extension of the optim() Function
#> Provides a replacement and extension of the optim()<U+000a>function to unify and
#> streamline optimization capabilities in R<U+000a>for smooth, possibly box constrained
#> functions of several or<U+000a>many parameters. This is the CRAN version of the
#> package.

#> 7 glpkAPI @ 1.3.0 Claus Jonathan Fritzemeier, 2 years ago
#> -----------------
#> # R Interface to C API of GLPK
#> R Interface to C API of GLPK, needs GLPK Version >= 4.42
#>
#> 8 getopt @ 1.20.0 Trevor L Davis, 4 years ago
#> -----------------
#> # C-like getopt behavior.
#> Package designed to be used with Rscript to write<U+000a>``#!'' shebang scripts that
#> accept short and long flags/options.<U+000a>Many users will prefer using instead the
#> packages optparse or argparse<U+000a>which add extra features like automatically
#> generated help option and usage,<U+000a>support for default values, positional
#> argument support, etc.

#> 9 BASIX @ 1.1 Bastian Pfeifer, 4 years ago
#> -------------
#> # BASIX: An efficient C/C++ toolset for R.
#> BASIX provides some efficient C/C++ implementations to speed up calculations in R.
#>
#> 10 RcppProgress @ 0.3 Karl Forner, 5 months ago
#> ---------------------
#> # An Interruptible Progress Bar with OpenMP Support for C++ in R Packages
#> Allows to display a progress bar in the R console for long running computations
#> taking place in c++ code, and support for interrupting those computations even in
#> multithreaded code, typically using OpenMP.
