Description
Hi,
I guess it would be cool to have an ability to search for orphan class instances.
For example I looking for a library which could convert AST to String or Json.
"instance ToJson (HsExpr _)"
"instance Show HsDecl _"

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how Hoogle indexes and searches Haskell declarations, then determine how instance declarations such as "instance ToJson (HsExpr _)" and "instance Show HsDecl _" should be represented. Done means users can search for relevant class instances, with coverage validated by tests.
