Wikipedia
haystack
Hay is grass, legumes, or other herbaceous plants that have been cut and dried to be stored for use as animal fodder, either for large grazing animals raised as livestock, such as cattle, horses, goats, and sheep, or for smaller domesticated animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs. Pigs can eat hay, but do not digest it as efficiently as herbivores do. Hay can be used as animal fodder when or where there is not enough pasture or rangeland on which to graze an animal, when grazing is not feasible due to weather (such as during the winter), or when lush pasture by itself would be too rich for the health of the animal. It is also fed when an animal is unable to access pasture—for example, when the animal is being kept in a stable or barn.

Haystack
Haystack is a project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to research and develop several applications around personal information management and the Semantic Web. The most notable of those applications is the Haystack client, a research personal information manager and one of the first to be based on semantic desktop technologies. The Haystack client is published as open source software under the BSD license. It's developed in a RDF-aware dynamic language, Adenine, built for this project on top of Java. Similar to the Chandler PIM, the Haystack system unifies handling different types of unstructured information. This information has a common representation in RDF that is presented to users in a configurable human-readable way.

Examples of Haystack in a Sentence
Our World War II cases are the ultimate cold cases. All of the crimes took place many decades ago on the other side of a vast ocean, it's very much a search for the proverbial needle in a haystack.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, we've been able to narrow the haystack.
It can be very tricky, especially searching from the air. It's a needle in a haystack out there.
This was a needle-in-a-haystack search with no guarantee that the needle exists, finding a change that could be clearly confirmed as real was absolutely a surprise. We were pretty certain that Venus is volcanically active, but we didn’t know if eruptions occur every few months, years, once every 10,000 years, or longer. All options could have fit with existing data. Unless we got incredibly lucky, we now know the frequency is every few months or so, similar to the family of Earth’s big basaltic intraplate volcanoes like Hawaii, the Galapagos Islands, Canary Islands, etc.
Failure is the haystack, success is the needle and I am the magnet.”
