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
