Query the CensusMapper API for vectors with descriptions matching a search term or phrase (deprecated)
search_census_vectors(searchterm, dataset, type = NA, ...)
The term or phrase to search for e.g. "Ojibway"
.
Search terms are case insensitive. If unable to find a given string,
this function will suggest similarly named objects.
The dataset to query for available vectors, e.g.
"CA16"
.
One of NA
, 'Total'
, 'Male'
or 'Female'
.
If specified, only return variables of specified `type`.
Further arguments passed on to list_census_vectors
.
