Description
There are few features in Hoogle that previously existed, that aren't available anymore:
- Specifying an output directory for database generation
- Generation of databases from text files
- Combining databases
- Specifying an input database for the server
Was there a reason these features were removed?
Were they moved into another tool?
These features look very essential for any kind of extensibility.

PS: The amount of time and effort put into Hoogle is highly admired and appreciated :)
