Hi
http://haskell.org/hoogle/?q=socket+%2Bnetwork
By default it searches the libraries supplied with Windows apart from
Network (for various technical reasons). If you add +network it will
then search the network library.
What libraries should Hoogle search by default? What flags should be
available to control which ones are searched? I have no idea, if you
do then say what you think and why!
Thanks
Neil

I recall that Niel made sure hoogle doesn't search through non-portable libraries (a shame), but I thought Network.Socket could be used on Windows and yet Hoogle does not give any results for 'socket' or any other functions within Network.Socket.
First, am I mistaken and Network.Socket is POSIX only? I could swear it wasn't. Secondly - is there any chance of lifting the non-portable libraries ban, Niel? From the stand point of an application developer it might not sound good, but even in Haskell some software is system level and bound to be single platform (case and point: XCB, xmonad, hsXenCtrl). Judging by the amount of research in systems level functional programming I wouldn't be surprised to see this collection grow and making functions hard to find isn't productive.
