How to search by package name

https://guide.macports.org/chunked/using.html

Here you can find tips on how to tune your regex. You can use a regex
expression matching just the port name

port search --name --line --regex 'sed$’

This returns all the ports ending with *sed.

Notably, what are you looking for, I guess, is gsed, i.e. GNU sed.

    ,.,    |∞∞∞∞∞∞
  .'   '.  |∞∞∞∞
-'       `’

How to do a post search by package name?

port search sed
