What would it take to increase the hoogle index to most of the packages on
hackage?
I have been wanting to use hoogle to search hackage for a while and I would
be interesting in helping make it happen.

Hi
I would use hoogle for this. Currently it stores the package name and the symbols of the modules about a package.
What do you think about hayoo? I prefer this to hoogle, as hayoo has more complete database across hackage packages, AFAIK
Hayoo gets it package database out of haddock with text hackery - try things like data Foo = Bar {a, b :: Foo}, it's not nearly complete. Hoogle on the other hand directly examines bits and produces an accurate index. That's also one of the reasons Hoogle is a bit behind Hayoo, it has to do more to get the full package information out. One day Hoogle will match Hayoo and index all packages.
Thanks
