- fuzzy-search.
- show why/what terms matched.
- Share results with a direct URL.
- Noogle also knows stuff that is not officially documented.
- Types of builtins. (including builtins.derivation)
- Can be extended via markdown contributions to noogle.
- Always shows the latest docs based on the main branch of nixpkgs.
- Search by type signatures.
- Function types are parsed and interpreted.
