today and a few days earlier whenever i tried to do make search, i
got nothing. in ports & ports/net directories, i tried...

# make search key=yahoo

...here is the make -n output w/ "key block" code...

# make -n search key=yahoo | perl -pi 's#\;#\n#g'

here=`pwd`
  cd /source/ports
  top=`pwd`
  there=`echo "$here/" | sed s%$top%/source/ports%`
  if [ -n "$key" ]
 then  grep $there /source/ports/INDEX | grep -i "yahoo" | awk -F\| \
'{ printf("Port:\t%s\nPath:\t%s\nInfo:\t%s\nMaint:\t%s\nIndex:\t%s\nB-deps:\t%s\nR-deps:\t%s\n\n", $1, $2, $4, $6, $7, $8, $9) }'
  elif [ $name ]
  ...
  fi


...if i 've read above correctly, when make search is done in 
/source/ports directory, then "$there" will be '/source/ports/' which 
of course causes grep/awk to show something for a change. 

can anybody identify the cause?

btw, i just cvsup the ports w/ no success on make search.
