Have you tried Hoogle? I know you can install it locally and use it from GHCi or Emacs. I&#39;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.<br>

<br>Here&#39;s the wiki page about it: <a href="http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hoogle">http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hoogle</a><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 23, 2012 at 11:18 PM, Magicloud Magiclouds <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:magicloud.magiclouds@gmail.com" target="_blank">magicloud.magiclouds@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
