You are right: http://haskell.org/hoogle/?hoogle=[q]%20-%3E%20[r]%20-%3E%20[%28q%2Cr%29] But Hayoo searches all of hackage while Hoogle also searches a lot, but not all. If I'm searching for a function that is probably in base or containers, I use hoogle. Otherwise I use hayoo. In short: They are both very useful. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
