Have you tried Hoogle? I know you can install it locally and use it from GHCi or Emacs. I'm not familiar with ri, but from your description I think a local Hoogle would serve the same purpose with the added benefit of being able to search by types.

Here's the wiki page about it: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hoogle

See also: http://newartisans.com/2012/09/running-a-fully-local-hoogle/ With this setup I can use ":doc head" in my ghci sessions, and see docs very similar to what ri would show. -- John Wiegley FP Complete Haskell tools, training and consulting http://fpcomplete.com johnw on #haskell/irc.freenode.net
