Steal Stackage's search

[parsonsmatt]

The Stackage site has a search that combines hoogle, package search, and module search. So if I want to see the docs for Control.Concurrent, I type that in, and I'm there. If I want to see the docs for some function, I search for the function, and it comes up.

I've noticed that I'm starting to search with Stackage first, which is unfortunate, as stackage does not have all the libraries that Hackage has. Would it be possible to incorporate these features into Hackage's search mechanism?

I'm not sure about function-name search (the universe of all names on hackage is much larger) but I think we should implement module substring search at a minimum, and maybe have a way to flip between "full-text" search and package-oriented search (as we currently have).

The concrete use-case is someone sees "import Foo.Bar.Baz" in some example code and wants to know "where the heck do I get that from".
