(The old index just displayed a list of first letters, fast, and the

We have a ticket for that:

   http://trac.haskell.org/haddock/ticket/106

So hopefully we'll do something about it some day :-)

In the mean time, I think it would be better to revert to the
haddock-0.8 index (the new slow search was added in 0.9 iirc). A web
browser can search within the index page really quickly. Presumably it
would not be very hard to change to the old code?

Isaac - maybe you'd like to have a look at http://trac.haskell.org/haddock/ticket/106 as a warm-up exercise for your SoC project? It's a fairly high-priority fix for Haddock, and shouldn't be too hard.

Cheers,
        Simon
