Hi http://haskell.org/hoogle/?q=socket+%2Bnetwork
By default it searches the libraries supplied with Windows apart from Network (for various technical reasons). If you add +network it will then search the network library. What libraries should Hoogle search by default? What flags should be available to control which ones are searched? I have no idea, if you do then say what you think and why!
