You already have the correct answer from Mr. Gilbert. I have some additional comments and won't send them to the list.

The doc-all and ports-all have a "tag=." as the only real option. There are only a few ports that go with RELENG_4 and cvsup removed the rest. The ports INDEX file is updated infrequently. The INDEX file is what is used by the search option. The way around this is to install the portupgrade port in /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade. Then, you do a "portsdb -Uu" after each cvsup of the ports-all. I takes a few minutes even on an AMD 1600+ XP such as I use. I have several machines and I upgrade the ports-all on all of them but ftp the INDEX files from the main computer. No sense in making all of them generate the INDEX files when they will be the same. I find it convient to then add the make search as a "search" alias.
