Hi Oscar,

Sorry for the seriously late reply. I only just found this message in
the bottom of my inbox:

It was a bug, fixed in hoogle-4.2.1. I had an incomplete pattern match
on "to", which crashed Hoogle. The reason "to" is treated specially is
that when people search for "a to b", they usually mean "a -> b", and
my code to detect this was incorrect. All fixed now.

Thanks for the report. In future, if you find a bug in Hoogle can you
please email me directly, or raise it on my bug tracker:

Thanks, Neil
