The answer to your first question is found in [pkg-search(8)](https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?pkg-search): -S search, --search search Specify the field to search the repository catalogue on. If unspecified, searches on pkg-name unless the search term con- tains a / character, when it searches on port origin. Output will be sorted in order of the search field. See the "Search and Label Options" sections for more details. Looking at the [glib20 Makefile](https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/devel/glib20/Makefile), you can see that the port name is `glib`. So, `pkg search glib20` searches for a _package_ named `glib20`, which doesn’t exist. `pkg search devel/glib20` searches for an _origin_ named `devel/glib20`, which does exist.
