Description
Currently all sets (set:stackage, set:haskell-platform, set:included-with-ghc) are hardcoded. We use Hoogle internally and ideally there would be a way to mark our internal packages as a set as well.
The biggest barrier to this (imo) is probably configuration, as this is a feature that probably would be unwieldy to configure via the command line and Hoogle as-is doesn't read from a configuration file.
I'd love to help with this but I'm not sure what you'd want regarding configuration, so I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Research direction
Start by locating where Hoogle's hardcoded sets are defined and where command-line options are handled; the issue names no files or tests. Define a configuration approach that can represent internal packages as a set, then verify that custom sets are loaded and searchable without making the command line unwieldy.
