FreeBSD Ports Search webpage is not usable

[Pav Lucistnik]

Note that some packages might not be available for certain architectures
and FreeBSD versions, because the packages are always lagging few days
or a week behind the ports tree. Or the package can't be compiled.

We can't add it to the official website easily, because we don't have
that information available inside the website.

25 And the Lord spoke unto the Angel that guarded the eastern gate,
   saying, Where is the flaming sword which was given unto thee?
26 And the Angel said, I had here only a moment ago, I must have put it
   down some where, forget my own head next.
27 And the Lord did not ask him again.
