[R] Searching for packages

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

Actually, I only found it at the second try. The RSiteSearch webpage has 
a search bar, I've used it search binGroup* and found it on screen 3.

>> If I want help on a package I can usually go to google and type "package.name in r" and I get what I need in the first few hits. Google typically offers suggestions if my spelling is a bit off, and I get hits that are close. I searched for the binGroup package in the usual way and found that it is no longer supported. I asked the authors only to discover that there is a binGroup2 package.
