Hi -port'ers,
This has been sat in my "Deal with it" -doc mailing list queue for ages.
I thought I'd pass it over to you guys as a request, if anyone cares to
implement it. If you want, I can send it as a PR.

Agreed. Along similar lines I'd *love* to see the search target of
/usr/ports/Makefile moved into bsd.port.mk in such a way so that one
could change to a subdirectory such as /usr/ports/print and run a
`make search' for just that part of the tree.

Cheers,
