I had heard that Hoogle actually compiled any type-signatures, where as Hayoo just did a text comparison. I'm not actually sure if this is true or not though. If it is, it would mean that [q] - [r] - [(q,r)] would return zip in Hoogle, but not Hayoo. Am I right about this? On Mon, Dec 7, 2009

Hi, It probably helps to know some of the history, as it explains a lot of what you see today. Hoogle was written first (about 5 years ago now), before there was hackage (so it doesn't search hackage), and with an emphasis on type search (as that's cool). Hayoo came a lot later (about 2 years ago

Thanks for all the answers, in particular the history (quoted) was informative! So for now the answer is indeed probably to use both, starting with Hoogle if I am searching by type. And if you do find that old hayoo command line search script yes please :P (esp the offline one, I do so much
