Search for a study on Movebank

This function searches for studies within Movebank by a specified keyword or phrase.

Usage

searchMovebankStudies(x, login)

Arguments

x

a character string to search within the Movebank study names

login

a MovebankLogin object, if empty you'll be asked to enter your username and password

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.
