I am not quite clear on what the real difficulty here is.
I sense misconceptions on one or possibly two levels.
"I discover a new command in the stata official website
(ca, which is an alternative to factor command and performs
correspondence analysis) but I couldn't find it."
I guess what you mean here is that you found documentation
for -ca-, but you couldn't find the program.
-ca- is part of official Stata 9. You won't find the program
on the internet, at least not legally. You have to upgrade
to Stata 9 to use it.
If -net search- displays no result, there are three main
explanations I can think of:
1. The program does not exist.
2. You specified poor key words.
3. The search engine couldn't find it. (For example, the
server supporting SSC occcasionally crashes.)
