If I browse to:

https://www.freshports.org/


type the following into the "Search" edit box widget on the right:

URI/Escape


and click the adjacent "Go" button, I see:

https://www.freshports.org/search.php?query=URI%2FEscape&search=go&num=10&stype=name&method=match&deleted=excludedeleted&start=1&casesensitivity=caseinsensitive

Notes

     Case sensitivity is ignored for "sounds like" and output is ordered 
by the soundex.
     When searching on 'Message ID', the type of match is ignored.
     When searching on 'Commit Message' only 'containing' is used.
     When searching by 'Under a pathname', your path must start with 
something like /ports/, /doc/, or /src/. All commits under that point 
will be returned. The selected match type is ignored and defaults to 
'Starts with'.
     Searching for 'sounds like' is only valid for Committer, 
Maintainer, Package Name, and Port Name.

no results found


I get similar results for "URI/Escape.pm".
