- marbu 15y agoDuckduckgo seems to offer reasonable results: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=L http://duckduckgo.com/?q=L. While it doesn't solve this problem entirely, it's a good starting point.

- bhickey 15y agoThis name collision is even worse than you suggest. Lindenmayer systems (L-systems) were invented back in the 60s and have been called L-systems for years.
- joshuafcole 15y agoActually, I followed the link because I thought this was referring to a programming language derived from them.
- cschmidt 15y agoIndeed, that's what I thought of. The problem for R is so bad, people have created special purpose search engines like www.rseek.org .
