Description
I'd like it to be easy to search all the packages that my project already uses. At present, I have to do "+lens +aeson +yaml +authenticate-oauth" for each query I issue. It would be cool if there was a way to configure this, even if only for the command-line version of hoogle. It would be very cool if it could automatically figure out what packages to search from the build-depends in my project's .cabal file :)

Research direction
Start with the command-line version of Hoogle and examine how repeated package filters such as +lens, +aeson, +yaml, and +authenticate-oauth are handled. Consider the requested configuration approach and the possibility of reading build-depends from the project's .cabal file. Done means users can define default packages and search without repeating those filters.
