Hi Brad, I already generate lots of Haskell API data for Hoogle (http://haskell.org/hoogle and http://haskell.org/hoogle/beta). Do you have any more details, or a link to the java api search plugin? If you want to do this, I'd love to talk - it should be possible to add it into Hoogle without too much difficulty, although I've little interest in doing the work myself :-) Thanks Neil On Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 12:44 AM, brad clawsie wrote:

i've been looking into the possibility of creating some xslt to expose haskell apis to yahoo search via searchmonkey.

if you see the java api search plugin, you can see some possibilities.

i was wondering if anyone maintaining any the official api docs had considered looking at searchmonkey. from a site owner's perspective, some rdf metadata can be inlined with the api docs which yahoo will automatically crawl to build up a search corpus, which could then be rendered into a display using the searchmonkey tools. this approach would be superior to the xslt approach i suggest above, since it exposes industry standard metadata that any search engine can use. the xslt approach is an option yahoo offers to let third-parties "scrape" sites they want put in ysearch.

since two parties approaches might conflict, i thought i would send out a note. thanks.
