Highlighting text in text mining

Highlighting text in text mining by Scott Chamberlain.

From the post:

rplos is an R package to facilitate easy search and full-text retrieval from all Public Library of Science (PLOS) articles, and we have a little feature which aren't sure if is useful or not. I don't actually do any text-mining for my research, so perhaps text-mining folks can give some feedback.

You can quickly get a lot of results back using rplos, so perhaps it is useful to quickly browse what you got. What better tool than a browser to browse? Enter highplos and highbrow. highplos uses the Solr capabilities of the PLOS search API, and lets you get back a string with the term you searched for highlighted (by default with <em> tag for italics).

The rplos package has various metric and retrieval functions in addition to its main search function.

A product of the ROpenSci project.
