[BioC] direct text search of PubMed from Bioconductor?

[Sean Davis]

You might want to look at this package:

http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/20/18/3659

The code has moved around, but a Google search will probably get you close.
Alternatively, look at the eutils documentation at NCBI.  Finally, there may
be another package out there that does this sort of thing that I am not
aware of.
