Hoogle pack anomaly

Searching on String ->Text gives pack as first result.
But yet [Char] ->Text does not give pack at all.
Why is that?

I guess hoogle doesn’t know about type synonyms.

Another example: searching for Bool -> String includes show in the results, but searching for Bool -> [Char] does not.

Here’s an old bug report about it, in case you want to bump it: Searching for String yields different search results compared to [Char] · Issue #294 · ndmitchell/hoogle · GitHub
