 Google Code Search is a really nice (and fast!) way of browsing lots of
 code online. It would be cool if the whole of Hackage would be searchable
 from Code Search. One useful thing is to be able to find all mentions of a
 function in all packages on Hackage. Another good thing is to be able to
 find examples of how other people use libraries (i.e. use Code Search as a
 learning tool).

 What we need to make this work is to host and XML file (that we could
 regenerate N times daily) in a public location (e.g.
 http://hackage.haskell.org/sitemap.xml). Instructions on how to set it up:
