Looks very interesting. However I couldn't get anything like
"https://hackage.org/modules.map" in a browser (nor with http: nor
from www.hackage.org): it says "unknown host".

I am just curious: instead of querying a centralized database, have
you tried any way to get modules' locations from search engines?

I wish I could see what "modules.map" looks like, then I could see
better whether what Cabalfind gets from Google could be an
alternative?

Not that I am pushing for Cabalfind in any way; just curious.
