Hi.

Hoogle [1] can search by type as well as by name. This currently only
works for standard Haskell libraries.
Hayhoo [2] is a string-based search only but also covers hackage [3].

After testing Hoogle cabal package [4], it can either generate
databases for the current system or fetch the database from the
internet. However, database search only covered standard libraries.
Having search by type in hackage would be great though.

Hope this helps.
