In duncantl/RGoogleDocs: Primitive interface to Google Documents from R

Search for text in Google Documents

Description

This function allows one to searchidentify all, or some subsets, of the Google Documents in an account to look for a particular matching text. One specifies the text to be matched and a connection to the Google Docs account and then search is done on the server. The return value is either a list or a data frame describing the matching documents.

This is essentially a convenience function that can be done with getDocs

Arguments

text	the text to be searched for in the Google documents
con	the authenticated connection to the Google Docs account
as.data.frame	a logical value indicating whether to return the information about each document as a row in a data frame or as individual GoogleDocument objects.
url	the type of documents to fetch, e.g. documents or spreadsheets. One can specify a value in GoogleURLs or use a name from this vector.

Value

A list of GoogleDocumentDescription objects or a data frame.
