Command ?? not working, help.search("anova")

[viodor]

Hello!

Please, can you help me with newest version of RStudio? I can't get help (search function for finding some functions to do something) when I use these commands
?? or help.search("anova") in RStudio. Both commands display nothing!

But both commands work great and display output like this in R, when they run from bash console:
help.search("anova"):

Demos with name or title matching ‘anova’ using fuzzy matching:

quantreg::RB-r Demo for testing R beta = r using anova[.rq]
tcltk::tkcanvas Creates a canvas widget showing a 2-D plot with
data points that can be dragged with the mouse.

P.S.
Is it a bug of RStudio (Version 1.2.1335) or i do something wrong?
