A wrapper function for search?

[trangdata]

I recently received a question about search and realized that the user would have to learn about more advanced arguments like pages and options to do a simple search. A helper functions would make it easier and feel less advanced. But perhaps we should first start with a search vignette? What do you think @massimoaria @yjunechoe?

Suppose the user want to search for any publications with links between BRAF and melanoma. oa_fetch(search = "BRAF and melanoma", verbose = TRUE) would take too long (54710 records total). Often we just want the top, say, 100 results (ranked based on relevance or citation count). So, we would have to do:

openalexR::oa_fetch(
  search = "BRAF and melanoma", 
  pages = 1,
  per_page = 100,
  # options = list(sort = "cited_by_count:desc"),
  verbose = TRUE
)

The corresponding pubmed search is

result <- rentrez::entrez_search(db = "pubmed", term = "BRAF and melanoma", retmax = 100)

Always down to have for more vignettes, time and resource permitting :)

On a wrapper function, would you imagine something like a oa_search() that wraps oa_fetch() with options relevant to searching promoted as function arguments?

Yes that's what I was thinking.
