There already is a tool called portsearch in=20

You should probably use a different name. I use portsearch instead of=20
"make search" because it does a better job of formating the output. It=20
also lets you do things like
portsearch -n ^apr
which requires that the port begin with the letters "apr".

I add it to my .cshrc as
alias search    'portsearch -n $1'
