It's not simple, btw. This engine bases on a syntactical analysis of  
Ocaml sources, and that makes it possible to search e.g. for type names.

No, it cannot do this. That's because it doesn't use compiled sources  
as basis. When I developed this page, that was simply not the first  
priority, I also wanted to make sources searchable that cannot be  
built, or that are just examples.

Now that the compiler can dump the type expressions, it is possible to  
add such a search (so far there is an encoding for a full-text search  
engine).

Sorry, as GODI inventor I'm the wrong address here. I have plans to add  
OASIS packages (very soon), but I won't support another format.
