Try searching for 'hoogle'. What I want is this: https://www.haskell.org/hoogle/ https://www.haskell.org/hoogle/ - not the website I am already on typing a search query in to!
tbf, I don't feel the same way as the GP. But this search always struck me as crazy in the past.
- azdle 10y agoOdd, works for me: http://i.imgbox.com/gEw5Rutx.png http://i.imgbox.com/gEw5Rutx.png What do you get?
- dexwiz 10y agoNot going to lie, I have seen people put Google into the Chrome omnibar, to then search something on Google. When I point the redundancy out to them, I am usually met with, 'Well that's just how I do it.' I bet there are more people doing that, and mistyping, than searching for a Haskell package.
- c22 10y agoI use a lot of devices, on some of them when I type my search into the address bar I get directed to something stupid like Yahoo. So now I've trained myself to always navigate to my desired search engine (usually Google) before performing my search. If it makes you feel better though, I do type out the "http://" http://".
- kasparsklavins 10y agoI'm one of those people that types "youtube" into the omnibar and then click the first result. Typing the extra .com at the end is too much of a hassle when auto complete fails me.
- fpgeek 10y agoI just tried this in a private window. Yes, "google" is a suggested search when you type "hoogle", but that seems only fair. After all, G and H are next to each other on a QWERTY keyboard. I'm sure a typo for google swamps deliberate searches for hoogle (maybe even for me, but then I have a custom search keyword). They're also suggesting other Google services you might want (Translate, Maps and Drive, when I tried), not just the one you're already using. More generally, I don't see how overly generic suggestions amount to dumbing-down Google Search. If I actually persist and search for "hoogle" (which I had to do anyway in the days before search suggestions) I get the Haskell results I want, even without any connection to my Google account.
- nl 10y agoIt's the first result for me. It does have a "did you mean 'google'". I wonder if the increased search volume over the past hour since you posted this updated the probability that it was a mistyping? It wouldn't surprise me - unique vocabulary (think hashtags) created all the time, and Google is pretty good at responding to that.
- Nullabillity 10y agoYup. Doesn't even suggest Google anymore for me, and all the results seem to be Haskell related, save for some unfortunately named altcoin.
