Hi
And when will Hoogle 4 be more than vapourwear? :) I guess the answer is 'whenever people stop asking me and start contributing patches' ;)
Patches are not what I need, since all the ideas/designs are in my head. I'll try and get somewhere on it soon, but my time is pretty well booked for the next 3 months. I reckon I'm perhaps a week of coding away from a text-search only. I'll probably release it as Hoogle 0.4 at that point, so people can use these new features (and test them) while I get the type search working (another week of work, perhaps). The libraries required for Hoogle are done though, TagSoup and BinaryDefer - but I haven't had chance to release them yet...
Seriously, though, this sounds perfect. In fact, in terms of writing Emacs integration, I think enough information is there to be able to use the current hoodoc interface (which involves knowing the module it's defined in, but not the package). In terms of a human interface, though, I think having to specify the module is too much of a burden, so I'll wait on Hoogle 4.
Yes, once Hoogle 4 is out, I can give you pretty much exactly the interface you like. I've designed it so Hoogle 4 has the logic for hoodoc and hoogle combined - making these tricks much easier.
