Provide a way to configure "default packages" #86

I'd like it to be easy to search all the packages that my project already uses. At present, I have to do "+lens +aeson +yaml +authenticate-oauth" for each query I issue. It would be cool if there was a way to configure this, even if only for the command-line version of hoogle. It would be very cool if it could automatically figure out what packages to search from the build-depends in my project's .cabal file :)

Agreed, a great idea. The hoogle-index project provides some of this, but I want it on the web, and I want it easily discoverable.
