 Take 'tex' as an example -- port search tex returns 391 ports, but almost
 none of them are related to TeX.

 Hm, there is `port echo name:tex` to search in port names only, but that
 is not so obvious. How should it be changed?

 We could add flags to specify the fields to search for:
 {{{
 port search tex
 port search --name tex
 port search --name --description --long_description tex
 }}}

 Or add an option to `port echo` to get more output than just the name.
