Hello Ernie,

Perhaps 'pkg search <package>' will work.

<package> will also match substrings.  For example,
'pkg search groff' will match two packages:

groff-1.22.2_4                 Software typesetting package
ja-groff-1.18.1_16             Japanese enhancement of GNU groff

and 'pkg search -o groff' will show the origin:

textproc/groff                 Software typesetting package
japanese/groff                 Japanese enhancement of GNU grof

See 'man pkg-search' for additional options.

Cheers ...

Marek
