Thanks for testing SVN. Please keep posting with anything you find
unusual.

There has been quite some changes that can potentially relate to what
you are experiencing. "index.search" is in base namespace and this is
why it is not visible, but .help.ESS should be.

If you don't see .help.ESS that means it is not inserted during the
startup. If this is the case can you please start new R session, then
switch to *ESS* and post here the lines starting with

(R):ess-dialect=R ...

there must be quite some lines.

One more thing, yesterday's changes (4590-4594) are completely incompatible with
ess-tarcebug. If you are using it please don't load it. I will move
ess-tracebug into SVN these days.

Vitalie.
