Thanks Michael and Neil, for maintaining Hoogle. Hoogle is becoming a victim of it's own success. We depend on it and so want it to do everything :-). I cannot edit the wiki page because creating new logins is currently disabled. My only suggestion is that perhaps the Hoogle front page should have a discrete disclaimer about the current scope of indexed packages until a solution is found. It might be useful for someone new.
