Telling them to grep the INDEX file for it (and how * else do you find something quickly?) is an inferior solution because * the output is then cryptic and unreadable. This was my attempt to * fix that. I see. Well, I either do a search on the ports web page (the one for "all ports") or just do a grep on */*/pkg/COMMENT or */*/Makefile or even */*/pkg/PLIST. I don't find the fields in INDEX too useful for those kinds of quick browsing anyway. But as I said, if you see use for that, go ahead. Satoshi
