>Description:
/usr/share/games/fortune/freebsd-tips incorrectly state show to
search for a port using the Makefile in /usr/ports
The first example is incorrect because 'make search port='
doesn't work at all, and the example for 'make search key' has a
" character in the wrong place...
>How-To-Repeat:
cat /usr/share/games/fortune/freebsd-tips | grep "make search"
"make search port=<port-name>"
"make search key="<keyword>"
cd /usr/ports
make search port=bash
>Fix:

Want to find a specific port, just type the following under /usr/ports,
or one its subdirectories:
- "make search port=<port-name>"
+ "make search name=<port-name>"
or
- "make search key="<keyword>"
+ "make search key=<keyword>"
