Query the CensusMapper API for vectors with descriptions matching a search term or phrase (deprecated)

search_census_vectors(searchterm, dataset, type = NA, ...)

Arguments

searchterm: 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.
dataset: The dataset to query for available vectors, e.g. "CA16".
type: One of NA, 'Total', 'Male' or 'Female'. If specified, only return variables of specified `type`.
...: Further arguments passed on to list_census_vectors.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
search_census_vectors('Ojibway', 'CA16')

# This will return a warning that no match was found, but will suggest similar terms.
search_census_vectors('Ojibwe', 'CA16', 'Total')
} # }
