Search for packages by a particular author

Question

Sometimes I get accustomed to a particular R package's design and want to search CRAN for all packages by that author (let's use Hadley Wickham for instance). How can I do such a search (I'd like to use R but this doesn't have to be the mode of search)?

Answer 1

Crantastic can search by author. You can do quite a bit more with crantastic but the functionality you're looking for is already provided there.
