Fuzzy search and preview of help

This feature is a Shiny app and is also available online at https://atusy.shinyapps.io/fuzzyhelp/. Note that some features are disabled in the online version (e.g., links between help topics and syntax highlights). Also, the online version has a limit on the number of available packages (tidyverse + felp).

There is also a similar project at https://helpr.atusy.net/ based on WebR. The main differences are appearance and the number of available packages. WebR-based project supports installing any package on CRAN. Once you type {{ packageName }}:: (e.g., dplyr::), WebR installs the package and you can find help topics in the package (e.g., dplyr::mutate).
