Now I'm wondering if I'm missing something, or Hoogle supports only a predefined set of functions. Any advise would be appreciated.
Hi. Hoogle [1] can search by type as well as by name. This currently only works for standard Haskell libraries. Hayhoo [2] is a string-based search only but also covers hackage [3]. After testing Hoogle cabal package [4], it can either generate databases for the current system or fetch the database from the internet. However, database search only covered standard libraries. Having search by type in hackage would be great though. Hope this helps. -- 1. http://www.haskell.org/hoogle/ 2. http://holumbus.fh-wedel.de/hayoo/hayoo.html 3. http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/hackage.html 4. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hoogle Regards, Paulo
