ports/www is too full

I've created a little python script that entirely feeds off the categories 
in the INDEX-5 file.

http://www.maxlor.com/freebsd/files/portsbrowse.py

Usage is simple: "./portsbrowse.py www" will display all www ports. 
"./portsbrowse.py www net" will display both www and net ports (logical 
OR), while "./portsbrowse.py -and www linux" will display only ports that 
are in both categories (logical AND).

How does this work for you, as far as "window-shopping" is concerned? 
Sure, you don't have autocomplete, but you do get to grep the scripts 
output instead.
