"make search" relies on having an up to date /usr/ports/INDEX file.
Try this:
cd /usr/ports
rm INDEX*
portsdb -uU
Your system load will hit something like 3--5 and your hard disk will
sound as if it's trying to saw it's way out of it's enclosure, and the
portsdb process will emit a bunch of warning messages you can probably
just ignore.
Cheers,
Matthew
