Description
Search input:
instance Serialise Text
Current result:
Nothing
Expected result:
cereal-text::Data.Serialize.Text
Context: automating type instance discovery with haskell-language-server (this is a blocker for the implementation)
https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/issues/2957
What needs to be done to make hoogle to do that?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Hoogle search for instance Serialise Text and compare it with the expected cereal-text::Data.Serialize.Text result. Trace the search and instance-discovery entry points in the Hoogle repository, then check the linked haskell-language-server issue for the required behavior. Done means the query returns the expected type instance without regressing existing searches.
