Site search is a good idea, and we’ve talked about it, but haven’t gotten around to it, perhaps because we’ve let the idea of a “fancy” site-search (tied into haddocks, etc) get in the way of an “adequate” one — just using google’s site-specific embeddable search box. It might be worthwhile to have even the basic one, which is the one that is at all likely to happen. And in fact, one of the arguments against doing anything ourselves is “google will be better” — so then, we may as well embed google to make the use of this better thing easier. The ticket discussing these issues is here: https://github.com/haskell-infra/hl/issues/79 —Gershom On May 5, 2015 at 9:08:02 AM, Doug McIlroy (doug@cs.dartmouth.edu) wrote:
The only search feature I'm aware of on the haskell website is the haskell wiki, which is a self-contained little corner. For example, the wiki says nothing about minGHC. To find out what the website has on the subject, I used a Google query: site:haskell.org minghc.
Is there thought of a comprehensive site-search facility that can find anything, including stuff that hasn't been wiki-ized?
