Comment(by clayton@…):

 I would agree that the new search can be helpful but it is bringing back
 way to much information.  Another example is the ack (p5-app-ack) port.

 {{{
 $ port search ack
 ...
 Found 673 ports.
 }}}

 That more than fills up the buffer on my terminal :).  I like the idea of
 having the options for searching --name, --description and --long-
 description.  I'm inclined to say that it should search --name by default
 also.
