Hoogle is tool to index documentation and type signatures in Haskell
code and use the resulting database to search for functions/type
classes/modules/packages etc. It can do textual search but it can also
do type based search e.g. it can find functions that match a type
signature.

There is web front end available at  https://hoogle.haskell.org/ but the
package consult-hoogle is for using hoogle installed locally from within
Emacs.
