I generally use "M-x grep RET find -name \*.hs -exec grep -nH foo {} +",
because I know how to drive unix and I don't like four prompts.

M-x grep exists in Emacs21, but the output became clickable in Emacs 22.

    find \( -name .svn -o -name _darcs \) -prune -o \
      -name \*.hs -exec grep -nH foo {} +
