Hello, we are pleased to announce the first beta release of Hayoo!, a Haskell API search engine providing advanced features like suggestions, find-as-you-type, fuzzy queries and much more. Visit Hayoo! here: http://holumbus.fh-wedel.de/hayoo Please bear in mind that this is still a beta release and we are continuously working on further improvements. Our plans for the future include: - Covering all documentation available at Hackage. - Compatibility with non-JavaScript enabled browsers. - Providing a web interface where people can point Hayoo! to an URI linking to Haddock documentation which will be automatically included in Hayoo!. Hayoo! was developed as a use-case for the Holumbus framework, which aims to help at the creation of very flexible and highly specialized search engines. Although Holumbus is still under heavy development and we have no official release yet, some informations and a Darcs repository are available at the Holumbus homepage: http://holumbus.fh-wedel.de Any suggestions and feedback is highly welcomed. Cheers, Timo B. Hübel & Sebastian M. Schlatt

Really like it. Looks very smart. Thank you! Little detail : After visiting a page that appears in the search results then doing a back button the search I did is no longer there. (On my eccentric Firefox setup anyway.)

Hm, that's strange. I know about this problem when using Konqueror, but my Firefox (Linux, 2.0.0.13) keeps the results even after visiting the documentation and hitting the back button. Which Firefox version do you use?

My Epiphany works fine. Anyway, I can't use back and forward to navigate between my searches (i.e. while on Hayoo!, pressing Back takes me to the page I was before going to Hayoo! instead of the page inside Hayoo! I was before reaching that point). It would be very nice if it was a history-friendly site. Keep up the good work! =) Thanks, -- Felipe.

I'm still on the old Firefox 1.5.0.5 : Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; OpenBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.8.0.5) Gecko/20060902 Firefox/1.5.0.5 I expect most people have upgraded to by now so I wouldn't worry about it if it works in the new version. I just tried again switching off my Adblock and switching on Java and Javascript, but couldn't seem to get anything except a blank search page after clicking the back button. Maybe just my strange setup. Richard.

Very nice! I'm not sure if this is documented or not, but for those interested in creating a search template for Firefox, Quicksilver and the like, it is possible to use a URL such as this to enter a search term: http://holumbus.fh-wedel.de/hayoo/hayoo.html?query=catmaybes Cheers, Max

Well, it is not really documented, but if you visit the Hayoo! page using Firefox, it is possible to add Hayoo! as search engine to the small search box in the upper right corner using the drop down menu. Timo

Also, I see you have the QuickCheck and cabal badges, but your HPC use also qualifies for: http://projects.unsafeperformio.com/hpc/hpcbadge.jpg I'd argue :)
Lieber Herr Hübel, lieber Herr Schlatt, ich habe gerade das Announcement von Holumbus in haskell.org gelesen und natürlich auch Holumbus ausprobiert. RICHTIG GUT! Viele Gruesse Uwe Schmidt

Hi, first of all, I'm very pleased to hear that such a nice project comes from FH Wedel. However, I have found two bugs, or annoyances: Using Opera 9.27 or Internet Explorer 7, - Search results vanish when using the "back" button - the "Source" and ghc docs links always take me to the top of the pages, it seems the anchors don't work. In Firefox 2.0.0.13 these problems do not appear.
Any suggestions and feedback is highly welcomed.
Keep up the good work! Regards Philip, who regrets that the FH Wedel TInf course of studies doesn't include the Haskell lecture.

Yes, that is a known problem. Although I have no good idea how to solve this while keeping the AJAX stuff (that is, find as you type).
- the "Source" and ghc docs links always take me to the top of the pages, it seems the anchors don't work.
Hm, there is nothing special about these. Plain <a> tags with an anchor, no fancy JavaScript stuff. Perhaps these browsers are generally irritated by inserting something into the DOM using JavaScript ...
In Firefox 2.0.0.13 these problems do not appear.
Yes, and FF is what we recommend right now, as everything "just works". But I'll try to improve browser compatibility in future releases.
Keep up the good work!
We'll try ;) Timo
Hello, thanks for all the feedback so far! We have just deployed some minor updates for Hayoo!, mainly improving the ranking mechanism. It should now prefer modules from the Prelude as well as functions exactly matching the query terms. Additionally, we have started a blog about Hayoo! and Holumbus development which can be found here: http://holumbus.fh-wedel.de/blog Have fun using Hayoo! Timo
Bug report:
I am using IE6. The "Powered by" bar at the bottom does not reposition as I
scroll down. So there is a small portion on the page always masked by the
"Powered by" bar.
Nice work. Great google-like speed...
