Agreed about the SEO of the documentation... I'm learning Haskell, and just last week I was trying to parse binary files using Data.Binary.Get. I spent a fair amount of time looking for a way to handle parse errors outside an IO monad. It turns out that the function I needed exists (runGetOrFail), but I couldn't find it because the first Google hit for "Data.Binary.Get" was for an old version of the package.
I don't know how one would tell Google to prefer the latest docs, but it would certainly help if the Hackage documentation page header warned you if you were not looking at the latest version of the docs.
