[R] Searching for packages

[Ebert,Timothy Aaron]

binGroup2 (version 1.02) was released 2020-04-07. There was one update on 2021-03-17 (according to available.versions("binGroup2").
My last system update was (I assume) recent. My system is governed by my University. I get monthly updates, rarely more often. My version of R is 4.1.
I tried Rui's suggestion (thank you) of searching using R. I read through the list several times but did not find binGroup2, though it is possible that it was there as binGroup.... and I need to open all the documents to find it.

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.
