esearch in reutils package: how to specify dataset?

Question

[ezrabekele17]

Hello!

I have a question about the reutils package.

There is a function called esearch() which allows you to search the GEO database. So, I entered the same query that I would use in GEO: "UIDs<-esearch( term = "METHYLATION PROFILING BY ARRAY[DATASET TYPE]"), but esearch() doesn't recognize "DATASET TYPE".

So my question is, how do I specify the dataset type to esearch()?

This is my code btw: UIDs<-esearch( term = "METHYLATION PROFILING BY ARRAY[DATASET TYPE]" )

Thank you

I figured out you have to set the database as "gds".
