True enough. I have a link to the CGI directly myself, so I never noticed. :-) > Sticking it at the top wouldn't be that big a jump....

What about advising frequent users/searchers to book mark a link to the CGI directly? http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi > Perhaps making the search under the "ports" page simular to or the same as > the one under the changes page would make life a lot easier.

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. -- -Zenin (zenin@archive.rhps.org) From The Blue Camel we learn: BSD: A psychoactive drug, popular in the 80s, probably developed at UC Berkeley or thereabouts.
