Thanks for again pointing out that I didn't want another way to get the information, but I have to defend Simon. [...] 1) make the wiki search function return all documents containig the search term (who can do that?) 2) consider creating a new wiki topic "Problems and solutions working with haskell"
On a related note, I have found that the Haskell wiki has some really great articles on topics, but there's often no clear path to get to them. I would argue that improving search isn't the right solution to this (search should be a last resort, IMHO). I've often thought the Haskell wiki could be improved with portal pages akin to what Wikipedia does for topics that are prominent on the front page. e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Science When one looks at the Haskell homepage now, there's a link to "Wiki articles" which just links to an alphabetised category (good if you know what you're looking for, not so good for browsing). Would adding some portal-like pages for major wiki topics (e.g. theory, applications, techniques, etc.) be useful? Or am I just missing some obvious pages somewhere? Cheers, Asumu Takikawa
