# NOT RUN {
## In real life, download crandb from CRAN or load it from your directory 
## with functions crandb_down() or crandb_load(). 
## In this example, we use a small file.
crandb_load(system.file("data", "zcrandb.rda", package = "RWsearch"))

## Vector => 1 page
p_display(RWsearch, pacman, pdfsearch, sos, brew, dir = tempdir())

## List with 3 items => 3 pages 
## No package has the 'distillation' keyword. An empty table is returned.
