rustdoc supports similar queries these days, see https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc/read-documentation/search.html#searching-by-type-signature
Still seems useful if this can be the Hayoo to Rustdoc's Hoogle.
(Back in the day, Hoogle was the great search engine that only covered the standard library, and Hayoo was the okay one that also searched the third-party libraries on Hackage.)
Roogle is a Rust API search engine, which allows you to search functions by names and type signatures.
so, it's a search engine that specializes in function names and some type signatures (see the todo list for the restrictions), apparently for the Rust programming language, written in Rust
that said, it also appears to be "good enough for their needs" given the todo list and commit history, so did you submit it because you found it helpful, or because it was interesting in some non-obvious way?

A friend mentioned Roogle to me the other day as a useful way to find the right Result or Option combinator based on types, and a recent comment mentioning Hoogle by ~noon reminded me that I should try it out. I shared it here to see if anyone comments on their experience using it.
