We suggest reading data in with data.table::fread() - as it's very
fast for the sometimes large datasets
you will get from using this function, and is usually robust to

bigsearch allows you to request records as a
tab-delimited text file. This is the best way to access a large number of
records, such as when your search results indicate that >1000 records are
available. You will be notified by email when your records are ready
for download.
