Details

The search function searches explicitly for the entered phrase. If you for example type 'Goose' it will not show you studies including 'goose'. So rather search for 'oose' to find both.

if (FALSE) {

# obtain a login
login <- movebankLogin()
# returns all studies that include this exact term: "MPIO"
searchMovebankStudies(x="MPIO", login=login) 
}
