I found searching ports very frustrating, so years ago I came up with =
this, which is not how anyone suggested I do this, instead suggesting a =
myriad of make and pig commands all of which did slightly different =
things and none what I wanted.
# cat /usr/local/bin/pfind
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
TERM=3D$@
find /usr/ports -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -iname "*${TERM}*" | grep -v =
distfiles
# pfind x11 | grep wm
/usr/ports/graphics/libwmf-nox11
# pfind wm | grep x11
/usr/ports/graphics/libwmf-nox11
/usr/ports/x11-clocks/wmtime
/usr/ports/x11-clocks/wmbday
/usr/ports/x11-clocks/wmbinclock
/usr/ports/x11-clocks/wmblueclock
/usr/ports/x11-clocks/wmcalclock
/usr/ports/x11-clocks/wmclock
/usr/ports/x11-clocks/wmfishtime
/usr/ports/x11-clocks/wmtimer
/usr/ports/x11-themes/fvwm-themes
/usr/ports/x11-themes/icewm-extra-themes
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtksourceviewmm3
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/wmapp
/usr/ports/x11-wm/spectrwm
/usr/ports/x11-wm/amiwm
/usr/ports/x11-wm/antiwm
. . .
. . .
Etc
Works for me. YMMV.
