Search Dataset Codes or Titles

Description

Search Dataset Codes or Titles.

Usage

find(...)

Arguments

...	Unquoted words, scalar numbers, or quoted regular-expression patterns. Prefix a term with unary minus for exclusion. Terms are captured rather than evaluated as function calls.

Details

Matching is case-insensitive and uses partial regular expressions. As in eurodata, all positive and negative conditions must hold in Code, OR all must hold in Dataset name. Terms are not matched across a concatenation of both fields. Consequently an exclusion in the title does not veto a successful Code match. Use browseDataList for explicitly global exclusions.

Use OECDdata::find to avoid confusion with utils::find. Printing shows a text report, using a text viewer only in interactive mode when enabled. Unlike eurodata's search report, the returned data frame retains the full catalogue schema, including missing optional columns.

Value

A list with criteria, time, df, and report, with class FoundOECDDatasetList.

OECDdata::find(gdp, annual, -quarterly)
OECDdata::find("health expenditure")
OECDdata::find("climat|emission")
}
